Yep, after replacing the 3,6V battery in my Ethergate and attaching the right cables and terminates (50 Ohms), it‘s working like charme!

Per LocalTalk Segment at least 32 nodes, per Zone I think it was 254 (8bit node address). And then there was EtherTalk Phase 1 and 2 ... and PhoneNet Talk... I remember on PCs the AppleTalk stack took > 128kB of RAM, terribly much under MS-Dos...

Well, 30 years ago. Today its just about connecting my local 'museum' Macs to the rest of my home network :-)

This is how it looks like: With the 'Internet Manager' you can configure the LocalTalk ports as remote serial  (to connect to remote AppleTalk networks) or as direct network network connection to bridge between Ethernet and LocalTalk. You can also define and setup the zone names and ranges...

Yeah yeah yeah! That’s it! Oh man, it does exist. How can I get it? How much do you want?

The Shiva Ethergate is/was a RS485/LocalTalk/Ethernet gateway, internally having a 16MHz MC68000 processor and could connect old style Mac-only networks even with remote networks (early WANs). It came with chooser extension and system extension for the 68k Macs, and still the firmware images are...

Hi Eric, surprise, surprise. Your offer sounds interesting! I’m still keen of getting my Mac SE (I upgraded it with a 68020 + FPU, 32MHz) into my home net. Alas, most of the disks offered contain the drivers and chooser extensions, only. If you have the chance to look inside, and you’ll find...

Thanks for your support, but no change. The Ethergate was a successor to the Fastpath, as I remember - manufactured after 1990 (The original Lithium battery in my one was marked 12/90 ... it still had 2.5Volts, btw, after 27 years!). I have problems opening the MFS formatted disk (network...

a follow up: The EtherGate died last week - the LEDs were only flashing very dimm. I checked the Vcc - it was only 4.7V. After replacing the uA7805 it is now back from grave (but still in the graveyard :-( !) It shows up on Shiva's Net Manager 2.5, but I cannot configure it, FastPath Mgr II...

No, sorry, but it doesn‘t seem to work. Additionally, now the EtherGate does not show up any more. All 3 LEDs are flashing green now; before the Ethernet Link was green and the two Serial Ports were flashing red and green. Seems it has lost its config completely. But great thanks for your...

Thanx NJRoadfan, with "Net Manager" I see the EtherGate in the device list, but I can't do much with it :-( I keep on looking...

Hi, I wonder if anybody can help me: I have a Shiva EtherGate Router (Connects LocalTalk and Ethernet with AppleTalk and EtherTalk) and I need to configure it for my museum’s network. I remember there was a special software utility called „Internet Manager“ to configure...
