After playing with my Apple IIe all weekend, my new obsession du jour is
to network it with my vintage Macintoshes. So, does anybody have an
Apple II Workstation Card available for sale or trade? Act now, before I
get distracted by another shiny object! :)
--
If by chance, more than one pops up, I'd be interested as well.
I'm aware of the Uthernet card, etc. but I'm looking for the "original"
Apple card that provided Localtalk networking to the IIe.
TIA,
Steve

Could you post (or just link to) a pic of the card in question?
I had a sack of like 20 of these Apple II cards that looked like network
stuff, and they may still be around..

The plastic connector block mounts on the back of the IIe case through one of the DB25
cutouts.

Nope, wrong stuff. The cards I have/had used a pair of DB-9 connectors on
the rear panel - IIRC..
I was told they were for "localtalk" but I know virtually nothing about
Apple II-era hardware.
Good luck!!

The boards you describe sound like they might be the older Apple II AppleTalk II boards,
as pictured here:

I don't understand yet how the functionality of the AppleTalk II vs. Workstation Card
products differ. I would blindly speculate that the AppleTalk II cards might have used the
same AppleTalk connector box dongle that the earliest Macintosh computers used?

Mark,
Best as I can tell, the card(s) I have/had around here aren't either of the
type you've indicated.
At the time, I wasn't able to ID them either.. and in one of those
"moments", I think I shite-canned the lot of them - only keeping one as an
example. Please forgive me, Apple friends.. =)

I'd pay $99 for one, but it would have to through a different channel than eBay.

I think the sale ended and it did not sell. They were asking $99 and the
auction closed.
