CL conquest: Apple Talk stuff

[Andrevas]

going to pick this up tonight. free stuff is nice. I imagine I don't need all of this since I only have the two Powerbooks so if anybody wants the rest of it, PM me. I actually specifically promised the guy that I would give anything I don't use myself to someone here instead of tossing it.

the description of the CL posting...

"Box of misc Apple Talk cables, adapters, splitters, etc. to good home."

Splitters?

Are they PhoneNet? I could sure use a PhoneNet with a DB-9 for my FastPath.

 

[Andrevas]

you want dibs? I'm heading over in about an hour to get it, I'll know more then. I just need stuff to network the two 'books together.

I could use a standard ADB cable if there is one.

Classichasclass, I might have an extra DB-9 to Localtalk if that will work. I'm not sure if I have a DB-9 straight to phonenet.

I don't have time to edit down the image sizes but here's what came in the box: http://andrevas.net/images/appletalk/

I honestly don't know anything about Apple Talk. I already have two AAUI Ethernet adaptors, so honestly I may not even use any of this. need to educate myself, see if this little learning project is worth my time.

the last pic, the Cat 5 cable and power cord, is just junk that was in there and probably going to get tossed.

"Guess that cable!"

Pic 1 - Localtalk/Serial M to Localtalk/Serial F

Pic 2 - DB-9 to L/S *I own two(3?) of these

Pic 3 - Cables that are either L/S or ADB, likely the former given the context

Pic 4 - I stand corrected... those are ADB. ADB will have the little metal square piece & 4 pins. L/S will have no square piece & 9 pins.

Pic 5 - Gray cable is described in Pic 8. Left is an ADB cable. idk what the splitter is. The little adapters are M to M and F to F L/S. Idk what the one on the end is.

Pic 6 - Bottom one is surely ADB. The top doesn't look like a Female L/S or ADB, so idk.

Pic 7 - Well, it has an ADB connector... and the L/S two arrows symbol, so those don't match up. I still can't think of what the other part is for. :?:

Pic 8 - DB-9 M to L/S M

Pic 9 - L/S M to ADB M ...maybe some of this is designed to run Localtalk over ADB? That would explain some of these weird connector combos...

Pic 10 - I have one of those for my DuoDock. Te female end plugs into a power source on my DD next to where the AC connects in. The cable then powers the Monitor.

Pic 11 - Junk, as mentioned.

The splitter is an ADB power tap, it looks like. Those were used by certain devices for power, but are also handy for those of us looking to wire Ethernet or WiFi boxes to our classic lappies. I'd certainly like a whack at that.

theos911, if you have something of the right gender to connect a mini-DIN PhoneNet to DB-9, I'd be grateful. I have to check the gender on the FastPath (not at home right now), but I am pretty sure it is female, so it would be female mini-DIN to male DB-9. I will verify later. Let me know.

I have a single Farallon PhoneNET Plus adapter with db9 male in my PhoneNet box that I've been hanging onto cuz it goes with my LocalTalk PC card... Your fastpath should be a db9 female I believe.

Let me know if you're interested.
