I can't find an Asante Mini EN/SC adapter in the UK to get my Mac Plus on an ethernet with IP, so I'm thinking of adapting a Micro EN/SC, made for Powerbook's, which I do have.
I've studied the pinouts of the Powerbook's HDI-30 SCSI connector and the Mac Plus's DB-25 SCSI connector and apart from the Powerbook's SCSI disk mode connection and four additional grounds I think I could solder a DB-25 connector onto the Micro EN/SC's lead without mishap.
As the Micro EN/SC takes it's power from an ADB port I could connect it to my Mac Classic's ADB at a pinch.
Does anyone have an opinion on the workability of this? would it matter if the Micro EN/SC was powered by another machine if both machines were plugged into the same mains supply?
Feedback please!
