Greetings!
Background information follows: I used PCs almost exclusively until the advent of the horrible Vista - that turned me to Macs: Now have an relatively new iMac, MacBook Pro, and bought a Macintosh Classic II off of eBay, along with a SCSI Asante Desktop EN/SC adapter. Love messing with older computers and intend to push the Classic II for all it's worth. Conducted a search to see if anything had been posted that would answer the mail - came up as a no-go, so ...
Equipment:
Classic II:
10 MB RAM (4MB built-in)
40 MB HD
OS 7.5.3
MacBook Pro:
4 GB RAM
160 GB HD
OS 10.5.6
Problem set:
Installed the Asante Desktop EN/SC adapter with accompanying software. Am able to plug LAN cable either into the overall cable modem port (via NETGEAR wall-plugged bridge XE102) or straight into the MacBook Pro. Tried using this site to network my Classic II and MacBook Pro to each other - got to the point where I could see the Classic II in the MacBook Pro's Network Utility, but could accomplish nothing else:
No luck with connecting to the internet at all. Have installed MacWeb 1.00A3 on the Classic II.
Intended Task:
I'd like to get my Classic II to be able to swap files with my MacBook Pro at the very least. Ideally, I'd like to be able to browse the internet with the Classic II. Has anyone cracked the nut on this one? Thanks in advance!
