Farallon StarController/12 in box
Posted by: Gil on 2015-11-04 15:55:54
Picked this one up on eBay. Was particularly interested because it had all the manuals. It looks like it has never been used. I didn't realize when I bought it that it also came in the original box! Only thing missing is the StarCommand software. Hoping someone here might be able to help me with that.  😉

Pffhahaha! Did it actually come with a bunch of resistors?

Sure, with an RJ-11 crimper you can make your own terminators! [🙂] ]'> I wonder how much efficiency you could restore by re-configuring a saturated AppleTalk/PhoneNet installation as a star?

Is the StarController the AppleTalk switch or the TCP/IP bridge?

Edit:  Googled, it's the switch.  Still fun, though.  I have one just like it.  Might have the software.

Yep! 🙂

Yeah I'd love to see a StarRouter or even an InterRoute/5 for sale. They seem to be pretty rare these days, the latter even more so.

May anyone put the controller/management software for it somewhere? I’m expecting a nice box and can’t wait to have it running! 😀

PM sent.  The box will include the original software, but this will save you a step. 🙂
