Got a problem here at work. We have an original Mac II 5/40 with a Radius
21 inch 8 bit color card installed. I put in an Apple Ethernet NB card with a
thin-net transceiver, which is connected to our local network and the internet.
An EtherPrint is connected to our local network, allowing this mac, and three
others to access our LaserWriter IINTX on LocalTalk. The three other macs work
fine, but the Mac II is acting up.

Now, after I installed System 7.0 on the Mac II, when I try to activate 
AppleTalk from the chooser, it give me the AppleTalk could not be opened error.
I tried reinstalled the system, 7.0, 7.0.1 and even 7.1, but I still have the
same problems. Taking out the ethernet card and trying to use LocalTalk still
produces the same error. I can't switch to EtherTalk since AppleTalk must be
activated before the Network control panel will open.

I have never had any problems with the other macs, a IIx, IIsi and IIcx. Could
it be the II or even it's pram? The IIx has the same Apple Ethernet NB card and
the other two have the Asante thin/thick/10Base-T cards in them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

chris
