No, you do not *need* to get a NuBus ethernet card for your IIsi. In fact, it's probably the most expensive way to connect the two computers. The cheapest would be to use LocalTalk by running an ImageWriter II cable between the printer ports of the two computers. It's a lot slower than ethernet (1/40 the speed), but unless you are moving a lot of data, it may work. And it's really, really cheap. The next best bet is to buy an ethernet card designed for the IIsi PDS. To use a NuBus ethernet card, you would also have to acquire a NuBus adapter, which would probably make this more costly than finding a IIsi ethernet card. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> Microsoft Windows?
