I'll make this short - I have a PM6500 running 9.1, fresh install from CD. I also have an LC475 and SE/30 on the same home network. Originally, had the LC475 and SE/30 on an Appletalk network bridging over to the PM 6500's PCI ethernet card, but the printer and modem ports on the SE/30 are worn out and intermittent, and the LC475's ports appear fine. Replaced AppleTalk with an Asante EN/SC adapter which allowed me to connect the SE/30 to the IP network through the external SCSI port. Much faster and more reliable than native AppleTalk printer/modem ports. An ethernet card and drivers were added to the LC475.
Keychain is giving me a lot of grief in the PowerMac 6500. When booting, Keychain asks for my password to access my passwords then responds that my password is wrong and when I re-enter it, it still reports invalid password. But if I reboot and hit the cancel button to avoid any logging in, when I get to the 9.1 desktop the Keychain is unlocked, and my shared files from the LC475 and SE/30 are mounted on the PM6500's desktop even though I did NOT enter any passwords. It's very hit and miss if my share logins are stored in the Keychain. Also sharing files in Mac OS 9.1 can be hit and miss if its file sharing shuts itself off intermittently. For instance, today after not logging into my Keychain the login for accessing the LC475's shared drive is invalid and no matter what I do I can't get past the login screen. So, I'm effectively locked out.
I did some searching trying to find answers and found entries that sounded similar to mine but no answers. Any ideas? Do I have to upgrade to OS 9.22 even though the highest OS officially supporting my PW6500 is 9.1? I do have a 9.2.1 OS installation disc for my (broken) iMac G3. Is there another, better answer?
I'm sure for most people here, either they never worked with 9.1 or it was many years ago and aggravating like it is for me today. If you have any memories or experiences similar to what I've described please share.
See, I did keep it short!
Thank you,
Gerry
