Farallon StarController/12 in box

Picked this one up on eBay. Was particularly interested because it had all the manuals. It looks like it has never been used. I didn't realize when I bought it that it also came in the original box! Only thing missing is the StarCommand software. Hoping someone here might be able to help me with that.

Pffhahaha! Did it actually come with a bunch of resistors?

Sure, with an RJ-11 crimper you can make your own terminators! [

Is the StarController the AppleTalk switch or the TCP/IP bridge?

Edit: Googled, it's the switch. Still fun, though. I have one just like it. Might have the software.

Yeah I'd love to see a StarRouter or even an InterRoute/5 for sale. They seem to be pretty rare these days, the latter even more so.

May anyone put the controller/management software for it somewhere? I’m expecting a nice box and can’t wait to have it running!

PM sent. The box will include the original software, but this will save you a step.
