- Well, Bill, we have been using Chesapeake Systems GeoSCSI Link with the
- GeoBook drivers. Works fine with a PB180 and a PB100 on our Ethernet for
- both AppleShare file and print services and TCP/IP services like telnet,
- ftp, newsreader, etc. This is the same SCSI box we used for a MacPlus, but
- the drivers were not exactly the same. Both drivers distributed with the
- SCSI box. I think the design of the GeoSCSI is similar to products from
- other
- manufacturers. We purchased the device in Sweden via MacZone early this
- fall.
