The early Ti G4s have an auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T, PHY interface IC/Auto-MDIX Ethernet port that will switch from straight to crossover when it is plugged into another Mac likewise equipped.
The Pismo;s Ethernet port is auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T but not Auto-MDIX. see: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42717 Paul Simoneau [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Apr 6, 2004, at 12:22 PM, Eugene Lee wrote: On Mon, Apr 05, 2004 at 03:40:15PM -0400, Brian Braunschweiger wrote: : : Is the ethernet port on a G3 PowerBook (Pismo) auto sensing or did : that come only to more recent PowerBooks? That's Auto-MDIX, which lets a machine automatically switch between straight-through and crossover modes. AFAIK, this feature appeared on Macs with built-in Gigabit Ethernet. -- Eugene Lee eugene at anime dot net -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
