- Has anyone out there networked Amigas and Macs over serial ports
- or a localtalk connection?
-
- I have an Amiga 3000 and a Mac IIvx that I would like to network
- together. I would prefer to do this over a localtalk connection
- but I have been unable to find any Amiga Zorro cards with localtalk
- interfaces. At one time, i thought there were several venders selling
- such. Have they all gone out of business?
-
- Do these Amiga localtalk boards come with software drivers? Although
- I would prefer to use TCP/IP, I would use Appletalk if required.
- Since I already have a Mac, I'd prefer not to use an Emplant type
- board.
-
- If I get the two machines networked, can the Mac then use the
- Postscript printer attached to the Amiga? Can the Mac then use the
- 250 Mbytes that I have free on the Amiga? (The Mac has an almost
- full 80 Mbyte disk. the Amiga is using less than 200 Mbytes of a
- 520 Mbyte disk).
-
- Thanks.
