OK, found "Network Browser", and it shows hope. It has a thingie for 192.168.1.1 which is the IP of the airport that it's plugged into. But not showing the iMac. When I try to open 192.168.1.1, it shows nothing. The other options are "AppleTalk" (empty), "Local Network" which has "Local Services" which is empty.

Curious, it has a "Connect to iDisk..." in a pop down at the top of the window... but of course OS 9 predates iDisk.

Did YouTube make some changes that prevent their videos from being downloaded? I've tried three different copy websites, and they're all returning errors on multiple vids.

All is well that ends in pizza.

do not have a "Network" control panel, or "AppleShare" control panel. AppleShare is part of the Chooser for me. I have the following control panels:

AppleTalk

TCP/IP

Aha. I was misremembering. (My classic is down right now)

What is Appletalk set at? TCP/IP?

Also, if you go into your OSX machine System preferences, what is the IP showing for the ethernet setup in the Network section?

And is Appletalk turned on in that same section for your ethernet?

Our wings are not tired

OS X does Appletalk you just have to enable it. Under your network system prefs choose the Ethernet controller and there should be a setting for Make Appletalk Active or some such.

I thought I said that.

I guess I didn't make it clear.

Sorry, I was reading through all the messages at once, I may have missed it.

Ya, now I see that. Of course, I'd already started wiping the drive, and apparently OS9 needs sharing on for AppleTalk to be on, and apparently Drive Setup can't be running with Sharing on. Crazy.

I got the old Yamaha CDR102 out, and burned a disk at 2x speed of the files. Now I'm watching a very slow progress bar go by as it wipes the drive.

Somehow, I don't remember installing a 2nd drive on this machine. Boy was I wacky! 2 drives, in one machine. Who would need such madness as that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just got a text message from my sister telling me my parents were about to toss my ZX Spectrum 16. I had no idea it was still around! So now I need it desperately, of course. I wonder how best to display it around the house.
