I'm too cheap/lazy to get a floppy emu at the moment...

I was able to get 7.5.5 installed by pulling the drive from the LCII, installing it in the Starmax SCSI port and copying all necessary files over.

Thanks to your help I've got open transport working and can ping machines on my network.

Next step is figuring out file sharing - I already have netatalk running on my Linux server for time machine and other file shares for the 2 osx machines in the house. Will have to do some more reading to understand how to make it work with an older mac os.

I'm having fun and learning a lot. Thx again!
