I started with a token ring card in a Windows/2000 box so I could connect directly. I have also gone via a Cisco router with a Token Ring interface NATed onto my normal LAN. I now have a 3174 with an Ethernet card but only floppies. I was planning to try moving the card to a bigger 3174 with a Hard Disk (actually an MFM emulator) but the PSU in that has dies.. ... just as I got the MFM emulator working :-( >I have the parts to do either token ring or ethernet on a 3174, > and just got probably one of the last 1174s in the world with ethernet (but no > docs) > > One of my projects is to try to get something similar going that is > open-source > which is why I was interested in ajk's arduino project > The documents presented seem to have lots of info. Perhaps I should get the scope out and see what happens on the co-ax... Dave
