Hi All-
First message here, but I've been around for a few weeks.
I have two LCs - a III and a 520 (AIO). The III runs headless, and has
System 7.0 or 7.1 on it. 5MB RAM. My 520 has 7.5.3 and 12 MB of RAM.
I was able to set up a simple network with the printer ports and a
serial cable (with the III's HD in a SCSI box). The III is the server
and the 520 is the client. I use the III's HD for storage, mainly. I
have no way to shut it down properly - it is always shut down with the
switch in the back after I'm done. I also have a Daystar Genesis
(although not working right now) and a Stylewriter 2400. Is there any
way to get these items into the network? (when the daystar is fixed)
My questions: Is there a better way to do this whole thing?
How should I connect the 2400? Can I hook it up to the III and share
the printer that way, or just directly into the 520? Which way would
be faster? Note, the LC III seems to have desktop printing capability
while the 520 doesn't.
Is there a way to access floppy disks put into the III? What about a
SCSI CD-ROM drive? That is, access a floppy/CD attached to the II from
the 520's desktop?
Is there any way to remotely shut down the III properly, not just
cutting the power to it?
Does this make sense to anybody, or am I asking too much from these old
machines?
Any help/advice/links would be great.
Kyle-
