I'm facing now the connection of micros to our flamant new Ethernet network. While there is no problem in connecting PCs, Macs II or SEs, there still remain old Macintosh Plus and some new Macintosh Classic to be linked. I plan to support Mac X even on these computers so they can log in VMS and Ultrix transparently, so the link to Ethernet should better be fast. From the documentation about DEC's PCSA it's assumed that you can easily connect a Plus to thin-wire Ethernet without problems :-). Now the real problem. No one in Spain seems to know how to accomplish this, nor it seems to be commercial ways. I know of Ether+ boxes and had planned to purchase some of them, but I'd like to know of other's expertise in this subject. How do you connect Mac Plus to Ethernet and what's your experience on the results? Which is the best way? Any reference to an European or American vendor who could provide connection boxes? Thanks a lot (or two) J. R. Valverde Biomedical Research Institute Madrid - SPAIN Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
