Just incase some on here has one. I have a PB165, it only has the normal AppleTalk port, which my B/W doesn't have. But i've seen they did an adaptor. That allowed you to connect to an ethernet RJ45 network, via your appletalk port. Anyone on here got one for sale?
Are you suggesting an AppleTalk to Ethernet adapter ?
According to Low End Mac's archives, the 165 has ADB and serial (Appletalk) ports so an AppleTalk to Ethernet adaptor would probably be the only option for ethernet. Farallon did one as did a few others
However, given the limited speed of data you can chuck over that connection, other than maybe connecting to a network to get your email, good old sneakernet and a floppy disk may actually be a faster method of transferring data, even when you factor in the �20 or so of buying a USB floppy drive for the B/W
