Next message: Romeyn Prescott: "RE: [WinMac] connectors & cables"
Curtis,
You nailed it when you said you're using Ethernet <-> SCSI adapters on Mac
Classics & a PB145... And I'll wager you're using them with System 7.1...
The problem with these adapters was when System 7.5, SCSI Manager 4.3, and
*especially* Open Transport rolled around: That's when the driver support
went into the toilet... And a couple of the vendors (notably Sonic) left the
plunger in the bowl!
Cheers!
Dan
