I have a ROM01 IIgs, a Powerbook 540c, a Mac SE and a newly acquired ImageWriter II printer. (My IWII does not have the optional LocalTalk interface installed)
Right now, I have the 540c and the SE connected together using phone net adapters and LocalTalk. The 540c only has the one modem/printer combo port and the SE has one each. However, the SE is only running 7.1.1 due to it's 4MB max RAM so it can only connect to the AppleTalk network on it's printer port.
How can I connect the ImageWriter II to the Mac SE at the same time as the LocalTalk network? Can I connect it on the Modem port and use it there? Will I be able to share it and connect to it from the 540c? Is there a way I can install a new System OS that will support OpenTransport and allow me to run the LocalTalk on the serial port with only 4MB RAM?
Is there some other way of doing this that I have not thought about yet at all?
