[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Imagewriter II on Appleshare?

dak@mips.com (Dave Kearney) (01/03/91)

Greetings,

I have an Imagewriter II that I'd like to put on an appletalk net. 
Someone told me I needed a special board for the Imagewriter... I did
some checking and I think the board costs about $100.  Does anyone have
info on this?... anybody running and Imagewriter on a net?  Anybody have
one of these boards they'd like to unload for less than $100?  Anybody
know where I can get one of these boards cheaper than $100... say about
$50?  Does anybody care?

thanx

dave

We have a few Imagewriter II's on Appletalk networks here.
The one's that don't have any kind of Star Controller
involved seem to work OK.  The one's connected via Star Controller
frequently stop in the middle of a page at random times, and the
Mac gets tired of waiting and displays an error message.  An upgrade
to the chips inside the Star Controller is available but doesn't
seem to have helped.  I haven't researched the problem completely, yet.
