Hi - new to this, so please bear with me!
I have an SE/30 running A/UX 3.02 and associated 7.0.1 finder. All working fine.
I'd like to get this networked, but I'm having a lot of problems finding a suitable card. I think this is a 030 PDS card, but ebay is pretty short of compatible ones. Especially for A/UX (although could ditch it if necessary). Does anyone know where I could get one? (pref. in the UK?)
Have tried using setport / getty and (what I thought was) a modem port to (standard PC) D type 9 pin serial connector with a null modem adapter. Maybe this isn't the correct cable. I do get a login prompt using putty on vista across the serial port without the null modem adapter. Any attempt to type anything inputs gibberish. Have tried multiple settings on the PC serial port. Not sure how (if) you change the mac one...
So how about an asantetalk ethernet - localtalk bridge? One end into the mac, the other into my hub. Do you know (think) this will work? To a PC? To a Unix network?
Any advice / learnings would be most appreciated...
Cheers!
