Hey lads,
What do we know about this thingy?
I picked this up from the conquest of a couple of weeks ago. In box, with the Farallon RJ45 and RJ11 wires, with the transformer. Practically unused.
It is meant to be a bridge between an Ethernet iMac (or similar) to a LocalTalk printer. But the back of the box hints at something else: file sharing! This must be relevant to my guide. But I tried various setups with the Duo and the SE/30 and nothing would work. Set one side up as LocalTalk and one as Ethernet.
The closest I got was when I used their RJ45 cable to my Mac mini to the SE/30. Got both serial and Ethernet activity lights blinking, but nothing besides that. I did hear once from somewhere that this doesn't support TCP/IP. Funny, because the Duo and the SE/30 can't use TCP/IP over Ethernet with AFP in 7.5.5.
