| Ethernet for the 6360/6500 combo. |
Posted by: Steve_G on 2023-01-09 14:49:24
So, i now have a mostly functional 6360+6500 with a Rage 128 and a G3, i kind of wanna get it onto some network stuff to just browse, i have an older SCSI to ethernet adapter, i have heard tales of that not working with powerPC, what is the easiest way and possibly cheapest to get this to browse the web, so i can download stuff directly to it instead of having to burn discs? |

The only option left for ethernet is a CS II ethernet card. If you have other macs, you can set up a LocalTalk network, but it’s slow and difficult to configure if you want to browse the web. For copying files it just works though. |
