If I want to connect my Newton 2100 to my iMac, which ethernet Pc Card
is the best one? The PN595-TP or the PN895 with the "hub" (mentioned
above)?
And if I want to connect my Newton to my PowerBook via ethernet? Now I
connect my PowerBook (540c PPC) to my iMac via an ethernet cross cable
without any problems, but I also want to be able to connect my Newton to
my iMac trough ethernet.
Does the PN895 has a dual connection (mentioned above)that allows me to
connect my iMac, my PB and my Newton at the same time?
