[QUOTE="lil, post: 162962"] Yes you won't get the two talking via AppleTalk as on OS earlier than 9, it does not do TCP/IP over AppleTalk; there is a 3rd party app however that will enable this and I cannot think of its name right now. That will enable the two to talk peacefully, you would then connect to the PC with the Chooser (yes, odd I know, but that was the Chooser all over...) You can install up to OS 8.1 on the Quadra 800 as it has a 68040 processor, OS 8.1 was the last release to support 68K processors, OS 8.5+ were PPC only. This would be worthwhile doing anyway as you have a good healthy amount of memory. I am surprised the Zip drive doesn't work on 7.5 as that was released in 1995, the Zip 100 drive's release year. How big are the files you are trying to transfer? I'll try and find the program you need in the meantime to get OS 7.5 to talk TCP/IP over AppleTalk. PS: that dongle is in actual fact an AAUI network to RJ45 adapter :flower: I presume you were using a crossover ethernet cable? Vicky :flower: [/QUOTE]
