Yay! the ebay Q700 arrived. It's cute!. Cuter than a IIci/cx anyhoo. I know technically it's not the kind to call a liberation - especially as this one is in pretty decent condition - looking at it a little it seems that it was bought, turned on... and then sold to me! The dust inside though is definitely a cigarette smoker's - it smells like my old 8100 and it's a bit sticky through the whole of the insides. Not to worry, that can be my cleaning job for the day!. 20Mb ram and 230Mb HD is pretty usable - and it seems to have been used as a scanning station as thats the only big app installed apart from OS 7.1. Don't people do odd things to their macs? I doubleclicked the Macintosh HD icon and find... system folder. ooookay. Check inside there, and there's the scanning software, a few utils, and a docs folder. The Extensions folder looked a bit big at 22Mb, and... hey! it's full of scans. heh. There's some digital cleaning to go on here I think. What a nice little router someday... Now to find a NuBus ethernet card and external 56k modem... dana (counting this as a liberation for abuse of the System and Extension folders... so there!) |

What you need is an AAUI-to-RJ45 adpater, not a Nubus ethernet card! The 700's have onboard AAUI ethernet ports, and besides, you don't want to use up half of your Nubus slots, do you???  666th poster and 666th thread-creator

But then when I have broadband coming in I can have it reach the 700 and then... then... localtalk to the rest of the network? :D For now I could do without the 2nd ethernet, but eventually... I don't think it's a valid 'liberation' either. Now the dust is gone this is an absolutely immaculate mac!. dana

Oh sorry, I didn't realize you wanted to use it as a router! Yeah, then you'll need at least one, if not two, nubus ethernet cards.666th poster and 666th thread-creator

are hubs expensive in aus, or is a router better for what you are describing? my dsl modem attaches to the uplink on my hub and i could access from anywhere on the network as i understand it (not much).jt2

Yes hubs are expensive. The same as RAM, SCSI hard drives and computers...~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

That would be certainly possible - but for me its the easy way out :D. I'd prefer to have the connection going into one box, which does the routing (or... the same as natd on OSX) and firewalling, and running everything else on top - mainly cos I haven't setup a linux firewall before. As for oz broadband as well - you're technically allowed to only connect one machine to the connection for telstra adsl... no multiple ip's etc, so running a NATd of some kind seems the way to go - whcih is exactly what I do with the imac. If I could do that with a 68k however, all the better. I'm probably just making life harder for myself, but thats the nature of this lil danabeastie And as for hubs - $90 australian for my 8-port... $45US dana (grrr!)
