I did several searches and have not found any topics on this forum ...however I have to believe this is covered somewhere?

I would like to connect two macs, a Mac Classic II and a Mac SE (superdrive model) together.  I would like them to be able to see each other and be able to transfer files back and forth between the two.  Physically they are only 1 foot from each other -they sit on the same desk.  I remember having about 5 or 6 vintage macs connected back at my first job (they weren't vintage then) and we were all able to see each other's machines and transfer files easily.  I believe but may be mistaken that it was simply a cable that we had daisy chained.  What I'd like to do is simpler just connect two macs.

Is it as simple as connecting a cable to each of the printer ports? 

is it an 8 pin connector like this:

Or is there something more involved? 

Thanks,
