I have aduo2300c running sweetly on 8.6, used to be sued with a scsi duodock, but now only have a floppy dock. I need to get the programs off that are the only ones i have initiatisled on the dueo and not on my other mahcine, and need them(its a stats program) its too big for floppy xfer.. Te 2300c asks for an IP address still on appletalk/appleshare darn it, but the se30 doesnt and cant see the other machine. Ideas anyone?

Macintosh SE/30: Technical Specifications
IP is not required/used for a LocalTalk connection. I assume that you have double-checked all applicable control panel settings (ports, etc). A LocalTalk connection between these two operating systems would (normally) be possible, but one should perhaps not rule out incompatibilities because of a certain mix of AppleShare/AppleTalk/Chooser versions.
If absolutely necessary, there are other ways. For example, you could try segmenting files into floppy-sized parts. This can be tested using something like Disk Copy 6.3.3 ( Disk Copy 6.3.3: Document and Software) or SplitIt! (https://archive.info-mac.org/_Compress_&_Translate/), providing that you can download and install these utilities.
Another method could be a serial modem or null-modem transfer using communications software such as Terminal 2.2 (https://archive.info-mac.org/_Communication/_Terminal/) or the communications section of ClarisWorks.
Addendum
Unless already available, the following could perhaps be of interest in connection with an attempt to use Disk Copy 6.3.3 for segmenting.
The easiest way would be to connect the two computers via LocalTalk (this could be just a plain Macintosh MiniDIN-8M to MiniDIN-8M printer cable between the printer ports). Then enable file sharing on one of the computers (the server), and use the Chooser on the other one to connect to the server. If there is a problem setting up the first computer as a server, do it on the other one instead, and use the Chooser on the first machine to connect. If Open Transport networking is enabled on the SE/30, and it does not work, you may want to use the Network Software Selector (if applicable) to switch to "classic networking".
Unfortunately the duo under 8.6 is insisting on an IP address, while the se30 under7.5.5 can’t do this. Interpol on the duo recognised the se30 as reachable but the two versions of AppleShare just won’t talk to each other. I’m sure there is a simple solution but so far I can’t fibd it!
connecting duo2300c on 8.6 to SE30 7.5.5 How?
