Hi y'all, i've been tinkering with my Quadra 900 and I've wanted to transfer files from and to it, and since my floppy drive is dead, I've thought of the serial null modem route.
I'm really new to all the AppleTalk and LocalTalk stuff, but so far this is what I've done:
-Did a null modem cable from 8pin mini-din to DB9
-Downloaded MACLAN on my W2k desktop
-Enabled a shared folder on the Quadra, and set LocalTalk to be the protocol on the AppleTalk network
-Shared a folder on the MACLAN server
So far I can only see the Virtual mac lan on the Windows PC, but not the Mac, and on the Mac selector tool I cannot see the Win pc server.
Am I missing something? The null modem cable won't work this way? I'm kinda lost here and I'm open to ideas or other stuff to try.
