Then you wrote:All my macs have floppy drives to get new files (such as internet softtwre) onto them, otherwise use terminal proggies to transfer them from pc to mac.
As for appletalk, how is this done? I never mentioned actually getting a pc to talk to the duo
Ok, you didn't say that explicitly, but you certainly implied it (and stranger things have been done than transferring files from PC to Mac - it is possible, by the way, if you have the right software. It's also easier to use LocalTalk from Mac to Mac).
For info on setting up a LocalTalk network, go read this page: <http://www.atpm.com/network/setup/localtalk_serial.html>
Beginning to have his doubts about his poor duo...
Why? Just because it doesn't have self-cloning terminal software doesn't mean it's less capable. It's just a matter of learning how to use ALL the tools available to you. Frankly, I think it's a good idea not to rely on floppies for data transfer. Floppies are unreliable. Learning LocalTalk will be Good For You.
Peace, Drew
