Its the 166Mhz Pentium. 80MB RAM total.

Mate, I'm a bit stuck, wonder if you can help...

From the PC Card FAQ site:

A PC Compatibility Card (Pentium version) can be installed into both a Power Mac 7600 and a Power Mac 8500 and successfully networked and run on both the Mac side and the Windows 95 side. Here is what to do:

 

First, install the PC compatibility card following the included instructions. This included installing DOS, and installing the Support Software from the diskette Apple included by running a:\setup from DOS.

 

Next, install Windows 95, and install the Windows Support Software on that same Apple diskette, by running a:\setup from inside Windows 95.

 

Create a directory called C:\NWCLIENT, and copy a standard PC ODI diskette over into that directory. ( delete the 3COM device drivers). Modify the following files to include the indicated statements:

 

CONFIG.SYS

LASTDRIVE=Z

 

AUTOEXEC.BAT

PATH=C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\NWCLIENT

LSL

C:\APPLE\MACODI

C:\WINDOWS\ODIHLP.EXE

 

NET.CFG

LINK DRIVER MACODI

FRAME ETHERNET_II

 

Notice that we the "VLM" statement in the autoexec.bat file was not included.

Once this is done, configure Windows95 to use the "Existing ODI Driver" as its Network Adapter, and configure Windows95 as usual for IPX and TCP/IP networking.

I understand how to set this up, the instructions are easy enough to follow, but I'm drawing a blank on the "standard PC ODI diskette" bit. I've been hitting Google for this but am turning nothing up. Do you know where I can find and download such a thing?

Cheers!
