A rare schematic of the AppleTalk adapter with the automatic termination switch | Posted by: twelvetone12 on 2024-07-16 12:21:08
Thank you! this is quite cool. I see a page with the specs for the transformer, maybe @tashtari could be interested. | Posted by: Tashtari on 2024-07-17 06:03:04
Interesting, the specs on page 11 are the same as those given in Appendix A of Inside AppleTalk, and the specs on page 4 are similiar but slightly more permissive...
Like @cheesestraws said, though, it has an odor of "this is what we used" rather than "this is what is required" about it. The token ring transformers I found at Jameco, for example, seem to work perfectly well despite their deviations from the spec, as do the transformers used in PhoneNet dongles. | | 1 |
