> I have here an Apple branded part, #590-0565-A. I have two of those, and a cable that goes between them. Aren't they just for Localtalk? The larger hole in the centre of the socket has a matching plastic pin on the cable (so you can't connect it upside down, or something). I don't know what part numbers mine are though, but if I connect them in the order "Mac -> thingy -> funny cable -> thingy -> Mac" I seem to have a network. I've never really thaught about it much. I am vaguely annoyed at only having enough bits to connect two Macs together like that. It's daft, because I can do that with an ordinary printer cable. Well. If anyone can shed some light on this I am interested too. Mark H-A -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
