The AppleTalk/LocalTalk confusion deepened when competing equipment manufacturers started making LocalTalk hardware substitutes. I have pairs of LocalTalk competitor connectors from: Techworks "Technet", Farallon "PhoneNet", plus one Nuvotech "TurboNet" connector. All that to go with my two pairs of Apple LocalTalk connectors. So far I have been getting by with an 10bT Ethernet connection between my Duo 270c in Dock II and Q840av. ;-) For what most persons have to do usually, the LocalTalk network is fine. But ouch for waiting if you want to copy the contents of a hard drive onto another hard drive, for instance. If you are going to burn a backup CD, then the actual throughput of your older CD burner may very well not exceed the bandwidth of the LocalTalk network. Has anyone tried the hard drive-->LocalTalk-->CD burner route? chris ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
