I acquired a PowerPC 5260 running OS 8.1 in order to transfer files from some old low-density floppies to hard disk. Now I need to transfer the files to my G4 using an ethernet cable (the PowerPC has an ethernet card). The cable connection checks out OK, but I can't get them to talk to each other.
First, I tried making an ethernet connection, but theh G4 doesn't see the PowerPC. Then I tried activating AppleTalk on both machines, and they see each other all right, but the G4 complains that the PowerPC is running an incompatible apple file protocol. I get the same result when running OS9.
Am I barking up the wrong tree here?
