- Oops! I forgot about that part...
-
- It's an Apple EtherTalk NB Card. When I ran the Network Software
- Installer, "Easy Install" wanted to install something called "EtherTalk
- for EtherTalk NB Card." Here's the info that the installer script
- provides for this package:
-
- EtherTalk for EtherTalk NB Card
- Size: 36K
- Date: Mon, Mar 16, 1992
- Version: 6.0.1
-
- This installs EtherTalk Phase 2 (version 2.3.1) and the
- Ethernet driver for the EtherTalk NB Card. If you are
- installing on System 6, be sure to install AppleTalk version
- 57.0.4 as well.
-
- "Easy Install" also wanted to upgrade AppleTalk to v57.0.4 (presumably
- the System 7 flavor), so I let it. This is the configuration I'm
- currently running (still no 32-bit addr.).
-
- Thanks Mark!
