emulatorII-list

Hi, thanks for your response. Yeah. I realise about the Mac list
database, the Powerbook 150 was cheap so thought I'd give it a go
(running OS 7.5). I have tried toggling between modem & serial ports.
and switched Apple Talk on, this made no difference and the latter
caused the powerbook to lock-up at times. 

Emulator Archive supplied the cable and advised Powerbooks can be
touch and go, so I'm now awaiting the Mac SE as an alternative and may
diagnose the communication issue. Just thinking that I may now also
need to do the EII modifications too (?) and unsure about the pin
cutting aspect. 

Cheers.
