have a DE-9 PhoneNET adapter, that should go on your ISA

Who would carry those? That would indeed take care of the whole problem.
Fry's still has PhoneNET boxes but I don't think they have the DE-9
variety.
Isn;t it just a connector change? Get the pinouts of the DE9 mac serial
port and the mini-DIN 8 and wire up an adapter that links the pins with
the same names.
I'd rather buy it, for two reasons. First, I've never found a female DIN-8
port for sale (and not for lack of looking) -- that wasn't in something
else, that is. Second, and more importantly, my soldering skills are zero.
I know it's easy for a lot of you, but some of us are terminally all thumbs
at even "simple" soldering tasks. :-)
Yikes! I hope that surgery is not a part of your plans, Cameron!

I'll look at sucking out the board EPROM and see
if that gives me clues
about how to build a LocalTalk frame.
