Re: Owner of 2 Localtalk adapters... now what?



Ok... is it slot 1 or slot 7?  cause i have a CFFA installed in that slot...

What drivers do i need (i assume off of the floppy install disks)

And what version of Appletalk is needed on the MACINTOSH, (i'm using this
macintosh sort of as a 'bridge' since i don't have win 2000/xp and that is
needed to write to the CFFA's CF card using a card reader and CiderPress)
