Re: Asante DT EN/SC on Mac Plus?

[James Rice]

I have seen four versions of the EN/SC.  There is the large metal box 
version with AUI, BNC and RJ45 ports, the SCSI ID is selectable and 
needs a power brick.  There is the newer small platinum box that has no 
power supply provision (I think this is the one Jeff has), there is the 
Mini EN/SC, a small gray box with BNC and RJ45 ports selectable 
termination switch, selectable ID switch and a power port that is AC/DC 
and accepts a wide range of voltages (I have three of these and want a 
fourth).  Then there is the Micro EN/SC with the Powerbook SCSI 
connector and a power splitter cord that piggybacks with the Powerbook 
AC adapter.

 Yes. And it has a place for a power adapter. At least the one I 
have for
 sale does.

 I don't have the adapter, but I have seen them available, or you 
could go to
 radio shack.

Yes it does.  I have one.  Got it at smalldog

The one I have here has no provision for a power adapter.   There is 
no input for an AC adapter.   I guess one could rig a SCSI cable or 
connector with a connection to the termination line for a power 
adapter.   But unless the adapters you have or have seen are like 
that, they will not work on this Asante Desktop EN/SC.

The one I have does not look like the one listed in the Ebay sale 
above.  It looks like this one
