This is probably a dumb question. But I just want to make sure.
I've got a color classic running 7.5, and a PowerBook 1400 running 8.6. My file transfer method is usually modern computer-> compact flash into 1400 -> and then serial cable localtalk to color classic, (or for some bigger files, SCSI EZ135). But I did copy a CD ISO over localtalk and that...took forever.
If I got an ethernet card for the color classic, is it as simple as a cat5 crossover cable between the 1400 and the Color Classic to transfer files? No hubs or switches, no IP config, just go to the chooser?
