Hello there, I've recently bought a Power Macintosh G3 to solve the problem reviving my Macintosh SE.
I'd like to format the drive of the Macintosh SE without putting the drive out of the Macintosh. Both the SE and the G3 have female D-SUB 25 connectors for external SCSI devices. I have read that someone connected the both using a SCSI cable (D-SUB 25 to D-SUB 25). After having turned on both the Macs he formatted the drive of the SE with his G3. I have a "Null-Modem cable" (I don't know the right expression in Englisch, in German it is "Nullmodemkabel", if that helps :-D). This cable has also two male D-SUB 25 connectors and was used to connect two PCs using their parallel port to transfer files. So the question is: Can I use that cable to connect the both computers? I think the cable is not exactly connected pin-by-pin. It's been a long time since I have been using PCs, so I don't know whether it's possible or not. Kind regards from Germany, -- Alex --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
