Asante EtherTalk Installer 5.6.1
Posted by: ktkm on 2016-12-07 03:54:32
I have trouble finding this particular software “Asante EtherTalk Installer 5.6.1”.

Mac Driver Museum only has broken .hqx file: http://vintageapple.org/macdrivers/nic/5_6_1_INSTALLER.HQX

Where can I find it? Asante won’t help me out …

or

Good luck

Hmmm. Looks like the newest floppy I have is 5.5.1 if you want that.
