Question for you Duo experts
I just got a 230 to use for word processing & want to hook it up to my
desktop g4 for file sharing ... I bought a Duo Dock Plus and AAUI to
Ethernet adaptor off ebay for about 45 bucks ... Unfortunately, the dock
is a lemon, but the seller is being true to his word and taking it back
for a refund
Here's the question ... Should I get another dock or is there an easier,
cheaper way to fileshare? I don't need any of the dock's features
beyond ethernet (external video, hard drive, floppy, etc aren't of use
to me) ... My g4 doesn't have a serial port (just usb, firewire and
ethernet) and tekserve here in nyc quoted me a price of 80 bucks for a
serial adaptor, which is too expensive
So ... Is there a cheap, easy way to get the two machines to talk to
each other? Maybe a scsi to ethernet adaptor for the duo? I read on
the list that Etherwave print adaptors work, but tekserve quoted me $129
for one of those ... Can they be had cheaper? Is there another
solution? Or should I just get a working Dock with Ethernet?
Thanks in advance for advice ... and if you have a solution to sell, by
all means let me know
Best
