TOPIC

    I've got an Apple MessagePad which has built in LocalTalk, and an Ethernet network in my office. How can I get my Apple MessagePad to work with Ethernet devices?


DISCUSSION

    Apple MessagePad users often want to print to Ethernet printers or access the Connection kit on Macintosh computers on Ethernet.

    The LocalTalk Bridge 2.0 should work in your situation. This software will allow devices on LocalTalk (including the Apple MessagePad) to see Ethernet devices (like LaserWriter printers or Macintosh computers running the Newton Connection kit).

    Remember to set you Newton Connection Kit preferences to "allow connection via network" and do not configure "allow connection via serial port to use the printer port".
