but does this apply to external SCSI to Ethernet devices as well?
Simple question, simple answer: no. As far as I remember those Asante adapters offered two possibilities to determine the MAC adress. On most adapter cases a little bar code sticker showed a combination of letters and numbers that represented the MAC adress. The other one - but here I might be wrong! - was to open the AppleTalk zones panel. The combinations of letters and numbers there was identical with the MAC adress.

If I find some time I can look up my own adapter as long as I connected my 145b to the local network with such an Asante adapter.

Just one little hint besides this: older Macs with integrated ethernet functionality or fitted with any ethernet transceiver / ethernet SCSI bridge do not work together with autosensing 10/100/1000 MBps hubs, switches and routers very well. Consider to get yourself a 10 MBps hub (no switch and not faster than 10 MBps)!
