I'm full of questions this week...
I wasn't getting enough 68k Mac time lately so I packed up my SE/30 and cleared off a spot on my desk for it at work. So far, mission accomplished. I've been using it on my lunch breaks and before and after work. I now have a networking dilemma, however. I have to use Windows 7 for work so I'm not looking to connect my SE/30 running System 7 to my Windows machine. I do have a graphite Clamshell iBook running 9.2 that I would like to have talking to the SE/30 for backup/file transfer purposes. So here's what I have:
(1) A clamshell iBook running OS 9.2.2 w/(if it helps) Chooser 7.6.2.
(2) An SE/30 running System 7.0.1w/(if it helps) Chooser 7.0.
(3) A Keyspan 28X A USB to Serial adapter with a serial cable running from the Keyspan to the modem port on the SE/30.
How can I get the two to talk without ethernet? Should I update the SE/30 to, say, 7.5? The iBook seems to be looking for an ethernet connection in the Cooser window and the SE/30 doesn't have that option since it's version 7.
