On the B2 side, you pull up the Appletalk control panel and set it to Ethernet. Then, pull up the Chooser and make sure Appletalk is Active, and pull up the File->Sharing option on the HD/folder you want to share, and turn it on.

There's typically no TCP/IP involved at that level (it's possible, though a pain with older Macs to get Appleshare over IP going. > Is there an official name for one of those?

Asante makes an AsanteTalk box, etc. If you do get a later Mac, the Localtalk Bridge might be of use as well: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60290 It requires a 68020 or higher, though, so it won't be of much use with the Plus/SE. > So I guess the SE has an internal SCSI connector.

But, you might not want to. Keep in mind that by changing the SCSI ID on one, you could hook both up to one Mac. That might facilitate file transfer, as well as simplify things should the SE ever meet an untimely demise.

There were also some brackets made, I'm told, that still allowed dual floppy and a HD. There might even already be the brackets necessary in there; you'd have to pop it open and look. > I apparently just one another Mac Plus I had bid on in Ebay. > So now I have two Mac Plus machines to restore and this SE. > > Should make for a fun summer! Wow! You'l have a full room in no time ;) I have 2 Pluses, 2 Classics, and a "Macintosh" branded 128k myself, so I know how they multiply :) My wife is none too pleased :) Scott --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
