What I want to do is to copy the disk from the Duo before I send it off.

I followed networking advice from cinemafia(used a while back)

So, it looks like your best solution is netwokring. Fortunately, this is very easy on a Mac.

Just take that serial cable that you use to connect a printer and run it from the printer port on the
Performa 400 to the printer port on the Quadra 840av. Now, boot both machines up. Go onto one
of the machines and go under the Apple menu, into Control Panel and open AppleTalk. Set it to the
printer port, and close the window. It'll probably take a little while to open the port, then it'll close.
Now, go back under Apple, into control panel and open File Sharing. Setup your computer name
and password (if you want one) and hit "start" next to file sharing. Do the same thing on the other
machine.

Finally, go under the Apple menu and into chooser on the Quadra, and click on AppleShare. You
should see whatever name you set the Performa 400 to be pop up on the menu, click on it and hit
OK and it will prompt you for your username/password (if any) and ask you what drive you want
to mount. You select the drive, and in a few seconds it should mount right on the Quadra 840av's
desktop. You can then copy anything off it like you would an internal hard drive (only it will be
running at about 0.9MBps, AppleTalk is dreadfully slow).

Do you have Appletalk enabled on both computers for the correct ports? You may want to doublecheck that.
Also make sure in the Appletalk control panel that the Network # reflected is the same in both systems. If that
isn't it, try a different cable. The File Sharing itself is for network identity and turning it on/off. As long as
everthing is hooked up and set-up right, you should at least "see" the other computer listed when you click on
the "Appleshare" icon in the chooser.

Okay, as for the hash sign, I just used that to indicate whatever number you choose to use. It can be
whatever you want, but has to match in all the machines for it's network.
