DOS Compatibility Card in a Macintosh 7300/166: Cannot get networking up
Posted by: gonzo on 2019-01-18 09:02:17
Hi,

now I'm stuck with the next issue: Networking.

I've installed PCSetup 2.17 on the Mac side (on OS 9.1 english) and Windows 98 SE on the PC side. I've also installed the second disk of PC Setup 1.6.4 and got the MacODI drivers loading correctly. I've installed the Win98 legacy ODI driver as advised here:

Then I wanted to install PCSetup217.exe on Win98 but this does not work. The exe termionates immediatly after I have started it.

Any hint to get the networking up?

Regards

gonzo

I want to say there was some issue with the DOS Compatibility cards and OS 9.1. It may have been networking. I think the Read Me for the retail Mac OS 9.1 installer touched on the topic a bit.

If in the end you can’t get everything ironed out I’d reccomend giving it a try with Mac OS 8.6 installed instead. Best of luck!

Sorry for necro, but the pcsetup217.exe that's floating around is somehow broken with CRC F3D0AED3. This version works though (on Windows 98SE): http://web.archive.org/web/20011229074440/http://www.pcsetup2x.com/products/pcs2installers/pcsetup217.exe CRC CD2BBC4D.
