Posible conquest: LCIII!

Um... the ethernet card needs no extra drivers! It saw my iMac in the chooser, but doesn't recognise that i enabled guest login, as i have no ADB keyboard i can't connect.

Well, it can do simple stuff like ping to the iMac IIRC w/o extensions, but you need the network extension for full functionality AFAIK.

How long does file sharing usualy take to startup on OS 9?

Just try copying the "Apple Ethernet LC" extension onto the floppy. If that doesn't fit, try cutting out some of the unnecessary stuff.

BTW, more hard drives:

I'm assuming you got the Mac-VGA adapter working, right?

 

[macgeek417]

Yup. but the floppy has no unnecisary stuff!

Just try setting up file sharing on the hard drive then.

 

[macgeek417]

file sharing won't start up. it has been sitting at the "File sharing is starting up..." screen for 15 minutes.

this is a clean OS 9 install.

 

[macgeek417]

nevermind. it started up finaly

 

[JRL]

Wait, so does the Macintosh LC III work fine now? :O

 

[macgeek417]

nope. no os on it yet.

 

[JRL]

does the hard drive appear on the desktop as recognized?

 

[macgeek417]

Awesome! I managed to mount Fireball, my iMac's hard drive, on the LC III!

Congrats! I guess I was wrong with my assumption. Still good to have the extensions installed once you get the Macintosh LC III's hard drive running.

 

[macgeek417]

And its installing 7.6!

So the Quantum ProDrive EPS works? At least that's a Very Good Thing™.

Screw the keyboard - Timbuktu it. }

Actually, thats a good idea.

When I get it up and running with OS 8, i'll put a VNC server on it.
