Donald,
I am not one of the Gurus and may not be very helpful but your project
sounds intriguing.
Do you need the physical connection between them at all times?
If not, floppies and the sneaker net (gotta' have floppy drives for
each machine) or Zip (ditto) would work easily. Serial could connect
them too but I don't think serial will go 150 feet. The imac will need
something to adapt to serial or phoneline network. If you have to move
around much with the 280, dragging 150 feet of phonewire or anywire
behind would really be a drag :-). Wonder if you could do anything
wirelessly with the 280, like a cell phone velcroed on the back of the
lid?
I doubt I have been helpful, it's a neat project.
cheers,
Randy
