Please forgive the cross post. I sent this to the vintage mac list before I knew this list existed.
I recently got an Asante micro asanteprint through the LEM swap list. I hope to use it to get my vintage appletalk network Macs talking to their PPC ethernet brethren. The problem is... it don't work! I've got known-good cables on both sides. The link and power LEDs come on. When I run the asante software (on the ethernet side) to query the device the Rx LED blinks, but the Tx does not (it does not respond.). The appletalk network does not show up to the ethernet side and vice-versa. I have not tried running the asante software from the appletalk side. Here's the rub. The wall wart that was sent with the device outputs 12 VDC. The device specs say input should be 12 VAC. Before I drive out to All Electronics (it *is* nice to live within driving distance of them) for a 12 VAC wall wart, does anyone know if there's anything inside the asanteprint that needs AC, or does it just get rectified to DC inside there anyway? I'm inclined to believe that it does require AC or they would have shipped it with a DC wall wart (cheaper than putting a rectifier in the unit), but does anyone have info more reliable than my guess?
