Hello,
I have an LCII that I recently re-capped and acquired a DaynaPORT LC II ethernet card for.
I installed the card and it successfully passes the diagnostics on the driver disk. I found the driver in this forum post: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/23832-driver-for-daynaport-e30/
My problem is that I can't install the driver. The LC II is on OS 7.1. Making the driver disk was a complicated process involving Basilisk II, a dummy 1.4 MB floppy image created with dd on my OSX mac, and then written to a USB floppy drive via dd. Basically this process, but using Basilisk instead of minivmac (http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8208)
I can run the diagnostics and copy files from the floppy onto the LC II hard drive with no problems.
When I try to install the driver, I make it through the disable extensions and license agreement stuff, it appears to start installing then fails with:
This is not the correct “DaynaPORT Installer" disk. Make sure you are using the original installer disk and try again.
When I created the floppy I named it "DaynaPORT Installer". If I copy the installer to the hard drive and try to install from there, it prompts me to insert the floppy then fails with the same error.
I have access to a Motorola Starmax running OS 8 (or 9 - don't recall) if that would help in creating an installer floppy that would work, I just haven't pulled it out of storage to test.
Can anybody shed some light on the best way forward? I like to network all of my vintage collection for ease in transferring software to/from them.
Thank you!
