EtherWave Mac/PB Adapter and Classic Mac

[Paralel]

So that was the last stumbling block, running the installer with extensions turned off? With the extensions on it would give you that complaint about the disk not being an authentic disk?

I'm just glad that a copy of the installer is freely available again. That is going to be the major sticking point for anyone that wants to get one of these up and running.

No... the problem was that I copied the Installer files to a floppy. That didn't work.... Even with the correct floppy name.

I had to mount the disk image and install it from there.

And yes...then a successful installation is also only possible with extensions off.

The adapter is working fine now for several days. I noticed that the PowerBook and adapter work better under System 7.5 than under 7.1.

My web server responds even when screen is almost off and HD is off. It wakes up and serves a page.....

I've noticed networking, in general, works better in 7.5. However, using OT 1.2.1 in 7.1.2P seems to work quite well, even if it uses 300-400k more RAM than MacTCP. However, having DHCP is indispensable.

If they could get Wi-Fi working on the PB500 series with a Rev-C PCMCIA card cage on 7.1.x, I'd be really interested, but it has not been possible, as far as I'm aware.
