Hi Guys, 
I'm trying to establish a SD/Powerbook 5300c (OS 8.6) connection with my EII, but they won't recognize each other. I wonder why it won't work?  I get the same EII keyboard to work with a Mac Classic without problems. (I would like to use the powerbook instead as it has a big HD) Rob at Emu-archive has this listed as a proven system...??! I tried to switch apple talk on/off and virtual memory too. Any ideas what else I could try?

Thanks!

Hi
You have to strip out any software that uses the serial ports. 
Thats printers/modems/etc.
The serial port is shared on the 5300C.
 
Ultimately its not a good combindation. Use a Quadra

If you would like to use a Powerbook with the EII, stick to the 160/180 series. I have tried other ones like the 500 and 5000 series but these attempts were all unsuccessful. They are also not listed in the compatibility list in the database section...

Just to add here, I have a Powerbook 180C and it works fine with the EII using the Modem serial port.
