- Yes, but it's not really suitable for "casual" connections. You
- have to shut down the desktop machine to attach or detach the
- 100.

- On a related note -- my Mac at work is hooked up to an EtherTalk
- network, so if I want to download stuff onto my 100, I have to
- switch to LocalTalk, download, then switch back. Is there any way
- I can avoid having to do this? The all-out solution would be to
- buy a SCSI box and connect the 100 to Ethernet too -- but that's
- overkill for me. Software routers perhaps (a la Liaison)?
