Hey gang,
I have a IIgs that is currently using Appletalk over a Localtalk connection
(actually phoneNet connectors that I scrounged up). One of my phoneNet
connectors is kinda weird - it has a 9pin serial connection (perfect for a
Windows COM port) that is plugged into an adapter to bring it back to the
Mac printer port (geez, I'm out of the loop! What are those connectors
called again? DIN? DB9? Grrr... memory fading...).
Anyway, I got to thinking - Win2K Server has Appletalk services that you can
run. I'm wondering if I can plug this phoneNet cord into COM1 on my Win2K
machine and transfer files to my IIgs that way. Anybody tried such a trick?
I suspect I will need a driver of some kind to recognize the phoneNet
connector on Win2K, but can find no such beast (for free) on the 'net.
Anybody have any ideas or comments?
Cheers,
Tim
