Updates (Page 1)

due to annoyances related to my lack of knowledge on proper twitter and the limited space (140 chars), updates will henceforth be placed here only.

January 1st-3rd

Sadly I was away for the first couple days, so no work accomplished there. How boring.

January 4th

Had to rush off today, planning on doing some work this evening. I'll have some updates before I go to bed or tomorrow afternoon.

January 8th

Well, I have been just short of screaming and wailing. I cannot get the stupid LCII to see the ethernet card. Sometime tonight or tomorrow I will try reseating the card AGAIN, but I suspect deeper issues at hand. I am thinking of installing Mac OS 7.5.3 if that doesn't work. If anyone has a mac serial cable (din-8 male-male cable?) they don't need and wouldn't mind mailing, leave me an email at the address on the contact page. It might be very useful if I can't this get this ethernet card to work by next week. I'd go buy one if I had more time, I may buy one yet. Hope everyone else is having a good time. If anyone has any suggestions, by all means fire away.

After much mental hair pulling and floppy swapping... NO RESULTS! I cannot get the System 7.5.3 images to mount and neither the asante installer or the 7.5 network access disk can detect the ethernet card. If you yank the ethernet cable out and plug it back in while the computer is on, you can get some blinky green light, but that's useless. Unless I can get a serial cable or make something wworkably like one and get it working successfully I shall most likely, to my disappointment, have to abandon all hope on this project. I'm sad to say my patience has limits, and this poor mac is just a pain.
