Re: Mac Classic II communication issues

2008-11-28 by esynthesist

This means that the "slow" communication at 31.25 kbaud is working, 
but the "fast" one at 500 kbaud is not. The fact that the drive is 
activated for a short while is just for loading the OS module for 
RS422 communication.
It's typical behaviour for a Mac which doesn't support this 500 kbaud 
communication.
In the database of hardware compatibility the Classic II is not 
mentioned as compatible, and if I remember well other people 
complained about this machine before.
An original Classic will do the job...
