Hi all,
I'm working on getting a Macintosh SE to recognize my G4 tower (running Panther). However, as could be expected, I'm running into a few snags.
I am linking the SE to my ethernet network with an ethernet/localtalk bridge. I can see the G4 in the Chooser from the SE, but it complains that the protocol of AFP is incompatible when I try to connect to it.
I need to find out what version of the AFP the SE machines wants in order to be happy and able to communicate without installing any additional programs. I don't have MacTCP installed on the SE and can't install it, primarily because I have no other machine with those funky 800k floppy drives in it.
Your help is very much appreciated. Once I get the SE connected and able to talk, I will upgrade it to MacTCP and use it as a dumb terminal for my G4 tower. That way an old computer will have a nice home and will still be useful while it's put out to pasture.
