They should have resisters I expect. Usually one connects to the Printer Ports. They are LocalTalk network devices. This was before EtherNet and they use AppleTalk as the protocol. Also LocalTalk it is a lot slower than EtherNet, but this was how one would connect Mac Plus and Mac SE generation Macs in a Lan. One connects them in a daisy chain and one can have a server using AppleShare or just use peer to peer and also one can connect one or more LaserWriters that use LocalTalk to the LAN. They had this kind of network when I was at Cal Poly University in 1990. :-} -- <<<>>> Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. ("`-''-/").___ ..- -''"`.. _ ( 6_ 6 ) `-.
