Despite Clark's insistence otherwise I have never been able to make my system 7.5 SE/30 file server work with any OS neXt after 10.3.9. It's possible that I it's mostly because I haven't tried for a couple of years but I don't think the Apple 7.5 software has been improved. It does seems as though your intent is to sit at an OS neXt Mac and talk to a remote 7.5 machine - a server. My SE/30 server is like an old cat that I don't want to commit to euthanasia. I continue to run OS 10.3.9 on my Sawtooth G4 and the lady of the house with more current Mac OS on a newer machine just doesn't use the SE/30. The SE/30 connects to a Mac-II with nothing inside but a power supply and up to 6 SCSI disks that change around with time. The SE/30 runs Netpresenz from Stairways software, now known for Interarchy which is being maintained. Netpresenz allows my G4 and pretty much any machine, including my ubuntu box, to connect and upload and download files using IP over ethernet. It's not sharing because it's pretty difficult to open and edit a file over the net without making a temporary local copy. There is also software for 7.5 from Open Door called Shareway. It was initially for the likes of internet connection using a modem and sharing over long distances. Apple bought rights that are the guts of sharing over IP for use in system 8.5. Open Door has reduced its price but the last time I looked it was still more than the current value of an SE/30 and you need a license for each machine. It is possible to use the stuff Clark suggests to make the SE/30 a client over IP that would allow a user on the SE/30 to share files that actually reside on the newer machine. For me, that's the opposite of what I want. My SE/30's have serial ports and can act as interfaces to older devices, mostly scientific instruments, that need that kind of support. USB to RS232 converters don't hack it largely because of distance. Newer instruments are coming out with ethernet but if you think computers are expensive . . . -- --> There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't <-- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
