I am using a LaserWriter IINTX with my IBM AT machine via RS-232 hookup.
I need to be able to hook up the Mac to this machine, also... as far
as I can understand from the manuals, I need *two* LocalTalk boxes and
a connecting cable to hook up the Mac, and if I want to use the IBM with
it also I will have to buy a LocalTalk card for the it (unless I want
to flick dipswitch #2 back and forth all the time).
My question is, is there a way to hook up the Mac using RS-232, or hook
it up to LocalTalk and still use the RS-232 port without switching the
dipswitch? If not, what is the "best" (read "cheapest") way to hook up
a Mac SE to the IINTX? Do I *really* need all the $50 cables from Apple?
Please reply via email, if there is an interest, I will post a summary.
Thanks in advance.
