Re: Connecting computers - can anyone help?

It is not practical to use SCSI, though it would be possible, you would
have to buy SCSI ethernet adapters...  If anyone still makes them.

The 520 might have an AAUI ethernet jack, in which case you can buy a
tranceiver and a cross cable an connect the two machines.

If you need more info, you can e-mail  me at nmarx at ix dot netcom dot
