Russ,
were you able to figure that out? And, for the rest of you, what might I be doing
wrong?
I recently bought two of Simon's 3Com 3CCE589ET cards, and I can't get
either to work. A 3Com 3C589C EtherLink III card works fine, same cable,
same Newton, same Mac.
If I plug the card in, it is recognized as Megahertz 589X, Manufacturer: 3Com,
TP/BNC LANPC card. There is a "use this card for AppleTalk" checkbox which
I check.
I have the following installed:
1) Inetenbl.pkg, appears in Extras as Newton Internet (version 2.0, tapping says it's active)
2) Newtdev.pkg, appears in Extras as Newton Devices (version 1.0)
3) Enetsup.pkg, appears in Extras as NIE Ethernet Module (version 2.0, tapping says it's active)
4) Inetstup.pkg, appears in Extras as Internet Setup
5) FarallonEthernet.pkg, in Extras appears as Farallon Enet
6) 3comaddon.pkg, in Extras appears as z33ComDrv:cli
7) 3c589.pkg , appears in Extras as 3C589
As I can connect with the other card, the cable and the Mac must be ok. But
I can't switch the Mac's AppleTalk to Ethernet when the Mac is connected
to the 3CCE589ET card.
Which entry am I supposed to use in the prefs and the internet setup? I've
the following choices in Internet Setup and Prefs - AppleTalk:
3Com 3C589PC Card
3Com 3C589DPC Card
Farallon Enet PC Card
Megahertz 589D
Megahertz 589DT
Megahertz 589E
Is the order in which the packages are installed important?
Thanks
Frank
