Open Transport AppleTalk: Needs Assistant Toolbox v1.3

TECHINFO-0020953

TOPIC

This article discusses an incompatibility between Open Transport AppleTalk and early versions of the Assistant Toolbox turning AppleTalk off when you restart your computer.

DISCUSSION

Open Transport is incompatible with all Assistant Toolbox versions prior to version 1.3. If you are using Mac OS 7.5.x and AppleTalk is off every time you restart your computer, check the version of Assistant Toolbox installed in your Extensions folder. You can install Assistant Toolbox v1.3 using the System 7.5 Update 2.0 Custom Install option.

If you need help checking the version number, see the section Checking the Assistance Toolbox Version.

If you are using Mac OS 7.6 or later, Assistant Toolbox is built into Mac OS 7.6, so you do not have to check the version. However, if you have a version of Assistant Toolbox installed with Mac OS 7.6, throw it away.

Checking the Assistant Toolbox Version

Step 1

Open the System folder.

Step 2

Open the Extension folder.

Step 3

Click once on the Assistant Toolbox extension.

Step 4

Select Get Info from the File menu (CMD-I).
