Asante AsanteTalk Ethernet - Serial LocalTalk Bridge For Apple Macintosh
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:51462392 | Compatible Brand: For Apple |
| Brand: Asante | Vintage: Yes |
For sale is a working AsanteTalk ethernet-serial/LocalTalk bridge for Apple Macintosh computers. This enables mini-Din 8 serial devices and computers to connect with AppleTalk to other computers/devices over ethernet. This does not connect computers to the internet. To the best of my knowledge, this is one of the few ways to connect early 68k Macintoshes to more modern ones, though users must check hardware and software capabilities beforehand. Correctly install...ed system software with AppleShare, for example, is required. System 7, 8, and 9 usually installed this by default, but system 6 did not. AppleTalk support varies in OS X, so buyers should check compatibility with OS X computers if they wish to use them. I have several for sale, and each auction is for ONE (1) unit consisting of an AsanteTalk, power adapter, ethernet cable, and serial cable.
Item 1 appears in photographs 1-3. The items show some scuffs and wear typical of their age. I tested them working with two PowerBook G3 computers (not included) running OS 9. See all photographs for more details.
Again, each auction is for ONE (1) unit consisting of an AsanteTalk, power adapter, and cables. I will sell in the order shown unless requested by the buyer.I offer FREE SHIPPING in the USA!
