Do any '68k Books do this?

gdogkzo Junior Member 147 Posts	Posted - 24 Feb 2003 : 07:11:10 My 160 has a video out port, but no video due to a dead inter-connect annd inverter board. Maybe it would work.
Jobf Junior Member United Kingdom 162 Posts	Posted - 24 Feb 2003 : 07:23:44 The 160 would work OK, but has no ethernet port. I'm sure I've seen SCSI ethernet adaptors before, even if you had to use a 50pin one and connect using the PB SCSI adaptor. Or are you stuck with serial connections? ==== Steve/Jobf ===== Lisa 2, LC475, PB145b, PB160, PB540c, IIsi.
cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 24 Feb 2003 : 19:04:03 I actually OWN a scsi ethernet adaprot... but it's NOT an elegant solution in my eyes.... I personally would prefer to paint a transciever to match the 'book, not to have a huge box attached... part of this goes with the way I see the unit being, right in front of the screen just like many people have normal keyboards...

Mirroring-only is just on the first batch of Wallstreet PowerBooks and the iBooks. All others support spanning right out of the box. ,xtG .tsooJ -- RTFM

I've got one, their really neat. Hard to find though... 7 68k Macs 4 Contraband Power Macs + 0 Windows PCs ------------------------- 1 happy guy
