Classic mac fun (and some questions)

Yes, you should. It will solve a lot of problems. 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. You mentioned in your message that PC/File Exchange were all installed. When you select them from the Control Panels, no error? 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. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- Born free.
