What kind wrangling?
I've poked around various places (including the wikiwikinewt:
http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/NcuOsx)
trying to figure out how to back my newton up. (I had been using an
LC575 but it's going flaky so I've, er, "borrowed" my other half's
iBook.)
That wiki page describes my setup fairly well - OS X.2 Jaguar, and for
Classic, System 9.2. I followed through the instructions and saw that
appletalk was already turned on for both classic and OS X. So far so
good...
But NCU tells me that I have to set the computer's name, and the step on
that wiki page where the instructions say to set the computer's name
doesn't work for me. Namely, I don't *have* a Classic control panel
called "File Sharing". There's one called "File Exchange" which
apparently isn't supported under Classic.
In OS X, the computer has a name. In OS 9, I can't seem to set it. How
did you make it work?
