I have the AAUI connector. I'm thinking it's working since I get a
light on the hub. I was able to switch it from appletalk to tcp/ip

ip address.
You mentioned in your message that PC/File Exchange were all installed.
When you select them from the Control Panels, no error?\
I tried 100 different things last night and can't remember the details
now. Some items weren't on the control panel at all. Others were
there, but would complain that the application necessary to run the
thing wasn't there. Others complained that they weren't installed
correctly. I'll post details tonight.
tcp/ip.
?MacTCP looks like it's there, but again, it doesn't seem to
work. ?I'll send out an exact error message and a description of what
I'm doing tonight.
You should see (the Q700 has built-in Ethernet IIRC) something like
LocalTalk and the built-in Ethernet. Select Ethernet in MacTCP, and click
More... if you want to adjust things like subnet mask and so on.
If you are using an ENet card in one of the NuBus slots, make sure you
have a driver for it. I would just use the built-in ENet; AAUI connectors
are dirt-cheap and common as, well, dirt. Check that you have the File Exchange control panel
installed, but this
again should be a standard part of 7.6.
I'll play with that it more tonight. Otherwise, yeah, I suspect the floppy drive. The
auto-inject drives are all
getting long in the tooth. A thorough cleaning would be a good start.
It's a little rickety. When I put the disk in, it doesn't drop onto
the spindle and engage entirely. I have to put a screwdriver and push
down on the disk (push to the right) to get the drive to notice the
disk. I blew it out with compressed air when I first got it, but it's
probably full of crud and probably has dirty heads.
