Today, I received my neat-o thing for the week, an ISA card for LocalTalk,
the software, and an Apple LocalTalk Locking Connector Kit for DB-9 (don't
beat on me for calling DB-9, that's what the package sez, 'k? :-).
Elation rapidly turned to consternation when I realised the connector box
doesn't take the PhoneNET wiring, of which I have scads, but rather the
annoying Apple four-conductor locking-style cables.
Anyone out there have some converter box that will allow me to plug my
existing PhoneNET wiring into this? I'd like to get the PC speaking LocalTalk
to the apartment LocalTalk segment, and if possible, I'd like to get the
Commodore on it also with this (being ignorant of the major differences, the
Commodore's SwiftLink has a regular RS-232 9-pin DE-9 on the end ... could the
Apple "DB-9" kit plug directly into that?).
