What kind of ethernet are you trying to connect to the computer with the SCSI Ethernet adapter? What brand of adapter are you using? Which version of MacTCP or Open Transport are you using with each system?
I have had luck using a SCSI to Ethernet adapter with a PowerBook 165 and 170. Never tried it with a desktop, but the principles should be the same. I used system 7.5.5 and Open Transport (version 1.1.4 - I think) as it lets me use TCP/IP, which I find simpler to configure than MacTCP, which I never did figure out. Also, the adapter I used was by Asante, and would not connect to a network that had an autosensing switch (10/100 type device). I connected to the network by putting a simple 10baseT hub between the powerbook and the rest of the network. Ken -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
