I like talking to myself, lol! I think it must be some sort of software incompatibility between 6.0.8 and 7.5.3?
I've got lights blinking on the Asante now on the Tx and Rx when I open the Chooser on the Plus. So I think it's talking to the AppleTalk network. I gave the Share username of Office on my Basilisk (no password) and put Office as the username on the Plus. Can someone confirm that there is something else I need to load on the Plus to get this to work? Or is there a way to connect the Plus to the Basilisk without having to load something? I've got an SE that I guess I could try, but I think it's running 6.x something too...
