do these types of adapters work with all PowerBooks? -----Original Message----- From: Hal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 2:12 PM To: Compact Macs Subject: Re: Greetings!
As for the Asante ethernet question, I'd check eBay. I got one of the micro en/sc adapters for under $15 there for my Powerbook 180, and I used an Asante mini en/sc with my SE/30 for a while as well. They're very reliable, and I prefer them to the ones made by Dayna, though I've used them successfully as well. cheers, -Hal On Friday, June 13, 2003, at 01:20 PM, Kenneth Smith wrote: > Hi Everyone. > > I am an oldtimer just now re-subscribed to the best list on the > Internet!! > > I have a few older Macs that I like to maintain, and I will list those, > but first I would like to know if some hardware can be found.
