Well, to hook up an ImageWriter, you'll need the ImageWriter AppleTalk card from Apple (don;t know of any 3rd party alternatives.) That's about $100 bucks right there. As for the cabling, just connect the 3 devices with 3 PhoneNet connectors and two phone wires between them. Put 50ohm terminating resistors in the open RJ11 jacks on the 2 outside connectors. We have set up several of these, and they seem to work well. Do be aware that vibrations can cause the cards to work loose, so reseating the circuit board may be necessary. -- Bill Douglass, TCADA "I dreamed I was to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet."
