Is there an HDI-30 to 10base-T adapter, or do I need an HDI-30 to DB-25 cable (pretty standard), a m/f direction changer, and then a DB-25 to 10base-T adapter? Please tell me the first exists{ candyPunk }

Yeah, Asante made an HDI-30 to 10Base-T model. It had a rather limited market, so it's probably pretty darned rare, though. I've got a couple of the DB-25 models, and they work without a m/f changer. (Remember, all SCSI DB-25 cables are male. All SCSI DB-25 connectors are female.) Proud Liberator of over 25 Macintoshes! |

The DB-25 end of the HDI-30 to DB-25 cable would be male, so I wouldn't be able to attach the DB-25 to 10base-T adapter without a direction changer. Both DB-25 connections are male. Unless...are there HDI-30 to DB-25 cables that have a female DB-25 port? The only I have seen have male ports to hook right into the device{ candyPunk }

Yes, and in this case, the Ethernet adapter is the 'device', so it's female. (On all of 'em I've seen, anyway.) Of course, I was also thinking you had an HDI-30 adapter, not cable. I have an adapter that goes HDI-30 to DB-25 female, so you can use a normal DB-25 male to male cable. (Of course, I also have an HDI-30 to DB-25 male cable, which is I guess what you have.) So, in short, the male cable end should plug in to the female Ethernet adapter. Proud Liberator of over 25 Macintoshes! |
