Macs, of the generation the eMac >belongs to, don't need a crossover anymore. > By no means am I questioning your knowledge, but how does it work? Do you have to specify in the software that you want the transmit and receive wires to cross, or does it automaticly determine that? If so, does it do it at the start of the connection, or does it monitor the connection (I doubt this info would change while a volume was mounted)? Does the eMac change it's jack's configuration to eliminate the crossover cable? Can the 4400 mount volumes on the eMac without the Xover cable, or is it one way like this? When was this feature first used? I have a G4/400 that doesn't appear to do this (circa 1999)
