This is my first posting so I hope it works and is useful to someone. I recently got Maze Wars up and working both over an AppleNet and on two macs just hooked up without AppleNet. All of the macs I worked with were 128k. All I did for the two hooked up with AppleNet was install the DRVR's .apt and .mmp and INIT ID=6 into the system with ResEdit. After these were installed I just reset the system started up MazeWars and it worked. I got the resources from a development office here at Reed, but they are probably avaialable from retailers. Would it be appropriate to post these to the net maybe in the form of a small data file onto which the DRVR's and the INIT had been installed using ResEdit? In order to hook up the two mac to each other I just took the cable that came with my AppleModem and hooked it up to the printer ports on both machines. I then powered them both up and went into the apple menu and selected Choose Printer (the desk accesory that came with the recent finder update, also available from local dealers). I then selected the modem port for my imagewriter (possibly an unnecessary step) and clicked on the Connect AppleNet bubble. I then got a couple dialog boxes that told me to make sure the AppleNet was hooked up to the printer port and then one that said it couldn't install the applenet at this time but that it would be installed next time I powered up my mac. (I did this same procedure with both macs). So I reset my mac and started up MazeWars and it worked just fine. The stuff I did with Choose Printer had probably already been done on the two hooked up with AppleNet. The pin connections for the modem cable are: (1 is the upper left hand pin 5 is the upper right 6 is the lower left and 9 the lower right) 1 nothing 2 nothing 3 3,8 (Shorted) 4 nothing 5 9 6 6 7 7 8 3,8 (Shorted) 9 5 I have no idea which of these connection are necessary. I was originally planning on hacking on together from the previous net info, but when I found that the modem cable worked I stopped. -Nathan Wilson
