It is not possible, to my knowlege to connect a Mac Plus to Ethernet because
the lack of ability to place any additional boards in the units. Mac II's SE's
SE/30's are all capable of this connection. Several manufacturers make boards
for Ethernet connection. Apple's Ethertalk board is only compatible with
the Mac II line. We have a Macintosh SE/30 connected to Ethernet using
the Kinetics Etherport SE/30 board. It has been quite reliable and I would
recommend that board to anyone wishing that type of connection. I know that
Kinetics sells other Mac Ethernet boards for the other type of machines.
