Just got one of these cards in a IIci project. Did you ever have any luck finding the manual?

As I recall, you need LaserWriter 8.0 and use the generic driver. The printer is not actually on the SCSI bus - CUPS is a "print server" on your network.

Agreed that a SCSI to Ethernet adapter or a RaSCSI are the way to go. With the RaSCSI, you'll also get other emulated SCSI devices (HD's, CDROM drives, etc) and the ability to print to modern printers.

Nice! They're good for hosting BBS's too. :)

Yes, Black Night and MacSSH can emulate VT100 and VT220 if that helps you at all. And they also emulate ANSI for BBS'ing!

I don't see any mention of a cache connector in the manual. Is there a way to tell if the upper connector is PDS vs cache?

I use Brother DCP-L2550DW laser printer and it works great. The old method to install it is here, but I believe it's an Easy Install option now with the latest version of RaSCSI. Another option is to print via LPD (TCP/IP) which is described here.

It must be CUPS (Apple AirPrint) compatible to work.

Yeah, you should! It was pretty slick when my modern Cannon MG6200 inkjet printer showed up in Chooser under the Laserwriter driver and then proceeded to print in color.

Quite honestly, a Raspberry Pi is probably your best bridge machine. As others have mentioned, running a netatalk server via A2SERVER or a RaSCSI will let you share files easily between modern and vintage Macs. I even send files to my Apple IIgs with Uthernet II card that way! If you go with...

I'm using the GGLabs card too. The first SCSI read is the highest ID number, so make sure the drive you want to boot from has a higher number. Also, I'm not sure that booting from HFS works...

GSOS can boot from a SCSI HD - I've successfully booted from a MacSD, SCSI2SD, ZuluSCSI, RaSCSI, and even a real SCSI drive. I'm sure that you can boot from a BlueSCSI too with the SCSIHD driver installed.

Nice find! Do you still have a land line to try out the modem? And what card is that in slot 7?

Yes, it should chime and the HD and disk drive should spin up, unless you have a break in the 12V rail like I did. You might check out my recent IIsi restoration here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/another-macintosh-iisi-restoration.42293/

I got a Quicksilver a few years back that had a couple of TAXI PCI cards in it and I could never find much info on them, other than that they were used to interface with early digital cameras. I had the cards up on eBay for quite a while and someone finally bought one of them. I asked him what...

The converter works fine with my LC III. I think it's more dependent on the monitor's ability to sync at 66 MHz.

My biggest holdup was not having a proper monitor to test with since VGA converters will not work with the IIsi.

Thanks for the nice deal!

That's one way to get some beta-testers! :) I'm still hoping for a demo release on the BBS some day... 🙏

Thanks for the link, but I don't wanna pay more for the keyboard cover than my keyboard! 🤑 The plastic cover sounds like a good project for the 3D printer...
