Dear Netters,
Please advise ...
Exactly what does EtherPrint/EtherPrint do?
A description I have here says ...
EtherPrint - Ethernet to Localtalk Printer Connector with direct
connection to thick or thin ethernet cabling.
EtherPrint Plus
- Ethernet to Localtalk Printer Connector-4 Port with
direct connection to thick or thin ethernet cabling.
Now, my questions ...
For Ether of the above :-) - does one end up with Localtalk one one side?
Never mind what is allowed here. ie, can I have a (long) Localtalk cable
on this side to attach my LaserWriter (which comes after a
Localtalk connector)?
For EtherPrint Plus - does this mean I can have 4 (longish) Localtalk cables
going to 4 different LaserWriters?
My questions arise from having LaserWriters not being in the same vicinity,
and definitely not desired to be in the same location as
EtherPrint/EtherPrint+.
No, can't hold my breath till June - we already have them ...
Thankyou,
(please mail too - that way I don't miss a response)

EtherPrint is an Ethertalk to Appletalk converter. Variety of ethernet cable support on one side and din-8 on the other. I think the Plus model has Localtalk on the other side and handles up to four devices. > Never mind what is allowed here. ie, can I have a (long) Localtalk cable > on this side to attach my LaserWriter (which comes after a > Localtalk connector)? On the Etherprint plus maybe... Why not run the ethernet cable ??? > > For EtherPrint Plus - does this mean I can have 4 (longish) Localtalk cables > going to 4 different LaserWriters? Looks that way, but not quite sure on the cable length limit. -- | Tasuki Hirata (sukes@eng.umd.edu) | - This page intentionally left blank - | | UUCP: uunet!eng.umd.edu!sukes | |
