Thanks. On another note, I may have found an intermediate Mac (powerbook G3) that has serial port ands SCSI port. I did notice that the serial port has 9 pins, but my Mac Plus has 8 pins. The 8 pin will plug into the 9 pin socket, based on what I see and have read. I assume that file transfer...

Can you point me to a how-to? I have never found one.  Thanks

AppleTalk, LocalTalk not compatible, as far as I can find. Looking through this forum and the web, there is no easy way. But, maybe I missed the recipe.

AppleTalk does not work between the old classics and the somewhat newer ones. I have read contorted ways of doing it, but every treatise that I read has a bunch of programs that are needed, no real instruction set, and slight-of-hand to make it work. Cheesestraws, so, your 1400 had ethernet...

So if the disk is formatted in HFS by the Mac Plus, it can be written to by a more modern Mac that normally writes to HFS+ ? That seems worrisome. What exactly are the 2 Macs that you sneaker walk between? steve

I may try to download software on a slightly more modern Mac than my Plus that a) has ethernet and can surf the web (slow is OK) and b) can still write to a ZIP disk that my Mac plus with a SCSI ZIP drive can read (OK to have two ZIP drives).  This "other" computer, though. What would it be...

Nobody likes MacLink Plus? I cannot tell from my reading whether it just transfers "files" or could transfer an image.

I am trying to do this, but it is more challenging since I have a Mac Plus, whose disk drive cannot read 1.44 MB HD disks, just the 800 MB DSDD disks. All the USB based drives will not read or properly write to 800 MB disks as I understand it. I have a modern Mac, and a PC running XP and one...

I assumed that it did not have a card, so I set that bit 4 accordingly. And, IT PRINTS. Than you cheesestraws. There is some misinformation on the web about the position of the dip switches for sure. Now on to the light printing on the right hand side of the page. May need a shim removal...

The cable is new from that eBay supplier, so I am going to assume that it is good. Select light on. Maybe the DIP switches are incorrect. Mine are 00000100  and 1101 according to the test print output. Can you confirm that these are the correct settings? I still suspect the driver, but...

I have a Mac Plus with 4 MB RAM running 6.0.8. I just got an Imagewriter II, which works when I use the test procedure. I noticed that the standalone driver in Printer Tools 6.0.8 is called Imagewriter (not Imagewriter II), which made me worry that my printer would not work with that driver...
