phonenet network box into the ribbon cable.

With the IIgs digicard you use a standard Mac PhoneNet box and plug it

into the circular DIN IIgs Printer serial port. There seems to be a

bit of trickery here because somehow the IIgs Digicard is taking over

the motherboard serial port, even with slot 7 set to "Your Card". This

is something which I wouldn't think a slotted card could do...

I have found that the IIgs can use the IIe card and its DB-9 network

box. The only real difference is that the IIgs can't print to the

network printers using the IIe digicard. Since most people no longer

do this anyway, it is not a real concern.

The printer "card" is a bit of a joke, really. It's a card you stick

in slot 1, yes, but it has only a SINGLE pin on it, no chips at all.

That single pin runs to a single wire, which connects to a jumper on

the IIe digicard network card. My guess is that it is grabbing the

device select line, so that the digicard board can pretend it is a

printer card. AFAIK, all other slot lines are shared across the slots,

so with the slot 1 device select line, a card in slot 7 can pretend to

be in slot 1, too.. ;-)

I'm just getting started with the other school, getting their digicard

network up and running. Not sure what amount of documentation they

have.. perhaps they have a system manual which describes password

recovery.
