If the Quadra has enough memory, you should get OpenTransport 1.3.

Make sure you have the correct interface selected (iirc, there is a control
panel called 'Network' or somesuch) -- you want Ethernet/EtherTalk, not the
printer port.

If you can, set up a dhcp server in the network, then the MacOS setup gets
easier. On the other hand, you'd need the MAC address of the Mac, first
(option-click somewhere in the MacTCP panel).

Can you see anything in the chooser?

Can you give details about the MacTCP setup, please?

Yep. AppleTalk "just works".

Shouldn't be necessary. This is not Windows(tm).
