Ok, I'm not familiar with the EtherWave product, but you described it as a "bridge". I have never seen a LocalTalk to Ethernet bridge that is capable of MacIP, but I guess it's po…
It looks to me that the drivers aren't installed properly. You should see two network device entries in the MacTCP dialog -- one for LocalTalk and one for the EtherWave. Apart from…

There are also software routers and MacIP gateways, like the old "Apple Internet Router" that you can run on a second, ethernet capable Mac to do this - but you don't really want t…

The Farallon EtherWave is a "full TCP/IP" device and should act like a conventional ethernet adapter. They're a bit on the slow side, but adequate for basic use with a Plus or SE. …

The problem is that LocalTalk can't "do" tcp/ip (the "internet" protocol) - it can only handle AppleTalk and that's it.
MacTCP allows you to work around this limitation by wrappin…
First, the basics : I run system 6.0.8, the Etherwave bridge is connected to the modem port of the Plus on one side and to my router on the other (and is 12V plugged too...).

Hi everyone,
As the title says, I'm the proud owner of a Plussed 512, a Farallon Etherwave localtalk-to-ethernet bridge and of an internet connection - and my goal is obviously to…

Battery reset was probably needed to fix a software bug in the smart controller inside the battery, something nobody noticed untill so many hours of use in specific circumstances c…

That the battery charges in the VST charger is absolutely key. It can't be a bad battery. Now I am no expert, but I would probably try the following:
unplug backup battery and ma…

You type PR#1 at the BAISC (]) prompt to output anything typed. As per paper they can use tractor feed or normal loose leaf depending on what mode you have it in.

Also almost every dotmatrix printer ever can self test. With my model, you can either hold down TOF/QUIET while you turn it on or hold down line feed while you turn it on. The Imag…

You can test the printer by typing PR#1 at the Applesoft prompt (assuming the printer card is in slot 1)... after that all output should be redirected to the printer. Type somethin…

I Have an OkiData printer as well! It came in a bundle with my ][e! I am not sure if it works as I have no way of testing it, because my ][e has no software. Mine is Okidata Microl…

Found this at a salvation army today, had no sticker on it so the guy said I could have it for $3.50. Came with two manuals and a somewhat dry but still decent ribbon. Self tests j…

I've tried BatteryReset and it made no difference. I'll concede that the battery is probably bad. The strange thing, though, is that it will charge to four lights and be usable in …

Remove the PRAM battery if it is dead, just causes problems.
Sounds like you either messed up a cable or something if those buttons do not work, not a common problem.
68kMLANetworkingby Unknown_KSat, 17 Oct 2009 - 02:26
1. sounds like the battery itself is faulty. Have you tried Battery Reset?
2. sound like the backup battery is long past dead.
3. no idea, but I have never heard of this problem …

I suppose it might be possible (long shot) to set up the module to act as an Appletalk bridge by writing a custom firmware for it. / port something like NetaTalk / emulate an Local…

Why did I say wheelie bin?
Because that's what HE said.
Turned out to be a large tub, about three quarters full.
I'm kind of glad in a way, because, I wouldn't have had the space…
