Hi all, Well, I now happily have my "new" Duo 2300c up and running, tricked out with a MiniDock (thanks Laurent!), 2x external Apple CD drive that I picked up off eBay, external floppy drive (thanks Ed), and a 33.6k Zoom external modem that I had lying around the house. I even found a Visioneer PaperPort vX scanner on eBay to run off the serial port. The flickering band on the screen persists-not sure if that's a backlight going bad, or perhaps the video cable. I can live with it for now, but eventually I'll have to get that fixed. I'm not sure it's something I can fix myself. On my wish list is to eventually upgrade the RAM to 56 megs. Right now I have 36 installed. But the immediate need is to find an inexpensive way to get my Duo on Ethernet. One of my iMacs is equipped with a serial card, and I'm perfectly happy with the slow but reliable LocalTalk network I can set up with the Duo. But my other iMac is without a serial port, and I'd like to be able to link my Duo with it too (in case my main iMac ever gets sick and has to go to the shop or something). So I need an Ethernet connection. The Etherdocks I've been seeing on eBay are more than I want to spend just now, so I've been looking at the Asante EN/SCSI adapters that are always available. I downloaded the drivers from Asante however, and it appears that they require system 7. Has anybody successfully used this with OS 8.1 to set up a SCSI-Ethernet connection with their Duos? Failing that, what about the many adapters that allow one to connect to Ethernet via the Duo's serial port? Do these require drivers, and if so, do any of them work with OS 8.1?
