I would think industrial machines had RS-422 so you can hook up quite a few devices to one line (each having its own ID). Anyway can't you just send data over the serial port on a…

For the record, these things already exist. Here's an example of one. Similar devices exist for Ethernet as well. To clarify matters a little bit, these are not general purpose "n…

Huh?

RS-232 to wireless ethernet would be cool. I have a suspicion that the chip controlling it would be more powerful than the Mac using it though Using one with a PowerBook 100 w…

I think at this point in time the best you are going to get is one of the many ethernet > wifi bridges. You'd need to configure it on a PC, but after that it should work nic…

Is it April 1 where you are living?

I have yet to confirm this, but "generally reliable sources" inform me that there is a company that is working on a WiFi module with an RS-232 interface for industrial applications…

Office 2008? I thought that needed a G4. Personally, I'd go with 2004 and the add-on to read/write 2008's XML formats. John Click to expand... Nah, Office '08 works on a G3, j…
