Re: any hard disk servers available?



I have a Macintosh IIci serving as a localtalk/ethertalk bridge, using Apple
Internet Router software. I see this software pop up on eBay every now and
then.

For one of my clients, I've also built a Windows NT Server 4.0 box using a
3Com ethernet card and a COPSTalk LocalTalk card. This combination works
just as well.
