We were shipped copies of PC TOPS 2.1 along with Apple LocalTalk PC Cards (as opposed to the TOPS flashcard). When it came to install LocalTalk using TOPS alap command, the LocalTalk card seemed to be incompatible. The most visible sign of this incompatibility is the use of different address ranges for control signals (240 for the Apple card, while TOPS expects something else for its card). Maybe the control signals are incompatible as well. Is the Apple LocalTalk card really incompatible with TOPS software, and the TOPS LocalTalk card really incompatible with Appleshar software? Has anyone gotten this configuration to work for them? Please let me know via email, since I'm sure this is question is basic. Thanks. Tim (fredrick@acdpyr.ucar.edu)

Has >anyone gotten this configuration to work for them? I know this may sound wacky, but -- have you considered calling TOPS support? You say you were shipped copies of TOPS that came with the Apple PC card. I really doubt that TOPS would ship in this configuration if they didn't work together. Actually, I kind of doubt TOPS would ship this configuration at all, but maybe policies have changed since I left. I'm not going to say what I'm thinking, but is there some reason you don't want to call TOPS support? -- Tim Maroney, Mac Software Consultant, sun!hoptoad!tim, tim@toad.com Postal: 424 Tehama, SF CA 94103; Phone: (415) 495-2934 "What's the ugliest part of your body?
