The device plugs into the SCSI port on the back of the 170 and has an additional wire that plugs into the ADB port for power. The device has a "standard" plug for an ethernet cable which goes to your network.
Depending on which OS you use (I think I used 7.1 with Open Transport for simplicity) you can choose "alternate ethernet" in the TCP/IP Control Panel and away you go. Seemed simple enough to me, requiring no "SCSI Voodoo" to work. Ken -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
