[] How hard (expensive?) would it be to take an old 128K Mac logic board and convert it into a smart RS-422 AppleTalk device controller? The point is this, with AppleTalk you loose your printer port... it would be sure nice if you could access a shared imagewriter on the network. With an old 128K logic board, you have the ports, SCC, 68000, and memory... just add a power supply and replace a couple of RAM chips with ROM to bootstrap the "smart" AppleTalk node, and walla. Is anyone doing this, or am I overlooking an important point? Lonnie Abelbeck ihnp4!rduxb!lra <== new address
