Actually, you don't need PhoneNet or AppleTalk connectors if all you want to do is connect two Macs. Just use a Mac-ImageWriter cable (one with mini-8 connectors on both ends). I'm not sure if this is "allowed," but it should work--I have connected a Mac Plus with a 512KE using a mac 512K-ImageWriter cable with no trouble. This will let you play NetTrek, and will also let you share files on the hard disk if you buy TOPS or Personal Server Network (or wait for System 7.0?). You won't be able to share the printer unless you get it upgraded to a LaserWriter IINT, and then you'd have to buy PhoneNet or AppleTalk connectors anyway. -greg +----------------------------------------------------+ Greg Brail Internet: gjb@cs.brown.edu BITNET: gjb@browncs.bitnet UUCP: ..uunet!brunix!gjb Home: (401)863-6284
