- This is correct. The EtherNet port on the Q700 requires an adaptor to be
- used with thin or thick or 10Base-T EtherNet.
-
- $100 may be a bit high. We paid $75 per for Asante 'FriendlyNet' adaptors
- for our Quadras and we are buying more for our LaserWriter IIg's. (Asante
- is cheaper than Apple)
-
- If you have a special deal with Asante extend it to the adaptors.
