Q: Transfer data from Powerbook 180 to G3 or iMac.
I'm trying to transfer data from a Powerbook 180 to a G3 or an iMac. It appears the simplest way is to connect them with an ethernet cable. However, the Powerbook doesn't have an ethernet port, so I was trying to track down an adapter, and a Farallon Phone Net connector came up. I have one of those. Is there some way I can rig it up to connect the computers that doesn't require a phone line?
Thanks!
Powerbook 180

A plain cable adapter MiniDIN-8 to RJ-45 is not sufficient. It has to be a special adapter/converter. The manual/instructions for the following adapter could possibly be of interest to you. Please note that there may be limitations/restrictions due to the exact operating systems involved.
