three things have to happen.
1. the 8 pin cable has to be a 'crossover' cable, i.e. printer to mac cable,
not a 'one to one' cable.
2. you have to have appletalk loaded on each computer
and you know this by the fact that chooser shows up in the menu. and
appletalk is enabled on the chooser window..
3. file share has to be turned on on the computer you need to get files
from.
i use a phonenet set up by farallon. kind of expensive,
sometimes you can find some on ebay.
this allows more than two computers to connect to the appletalk system.
good luck

Apple made a big deal out of how HDI45 would eliminate so much cable
clutter, then only made one monitor that used it, the Apple AudioVision
14. Connected via the HDI45 port routes audio out, microphone in, video
and ADB to the monitor. You plug the keyboard into the monitor. Apple
originally intended to have video capture via an S-Video port on the
monitor, but never implemented it so the AV 14 monitors shipped with a
rubber plug in that port.
For connecting a normal VGA monitor, you already have an HDI45 to Mac 15
pin adapter. What you need is a normal Mac to VGA adapter like this one to
plug onto it.

So, at the suggestion of Gregg, I bought a "smart" DB15-to-VGA adapter
on eBay. I didn't buy the one he sent in the link because I feared it
might not be compatible. However, after a quick search, I found that
there is a Griffin adapter with better compatibility. Thanks for the
suggestion, Gregg!
The adapter has 8 DIP switches that allow for interpretation of
monitors. I could send a 640x480 or 832x624 resolution to a 1440x900
display (or some variation of that).
I'll let everybody know when I get it just how well it works.
In the interim, anybody have any suggestions, in terms of software or
hardware, for file sharing between two system 7 machines, neither of
which have ethernet? I have a MiniDin8 cable hooked up to the back of
both machines, but I can't get them to recognize each other.
Suggestions?

Again, don't forget that _very_ few modern LCDs will do 832x624, at
any refresh rate. NEC MultiSync LCDs, however, do seem to support
that res.
From my testing, none of the following _very common_ LCDs will sync to
a 6100, without an HPV card, at _any_ resolution, even with a good
quality Mac -> VGA adapter:
Dell 2001fp
Dell 2405fpw
Dell S2309w
Samsung SM2032BW
To get everything to sync, I had to either us an old 19" Trinitron
CRT, or install the HPV card, which gives a wider variety of supported
resolutions.
