My crazy network experiment is to get a tokenring network setup between some old PCs and some Nubus Macs using Netware 4.11 on an old PC server (which will have TCP/IP via ethernet and a tokenring card).

Ahh, NetWare 4.11! I dig! I actually have the complete genuine set of NetWare 4.11 and documentation, that I got for free from a friend. Also got GroupWise 5.2 as well.



Token-Ring sounds cool. I've never seen or used it, but i would like to try. Is that the one that uses BNC cables/connectors?

My IBM PS/2 Tokenring cards are mostly RJ45, the Nubsu Mac ones are DB9 female and I made adapters to ethernet cable for them. The MUI hub is rj45 and will be running 16Mb.

Lucky you have novell 4.11 I am looking for original manuals so I know how to do the bridging between ethernet and tokenring (I want TCP/IP).
