My LocalTalk-Ethernet-WiFi Network

I thought I would share some of the infrastructure I have set up to have my macs communicate with each other. Almost all of the Mac's you can see in my signature are able to access each other files. In a video I show how my 512Ke and Power Macintosh 8600 can access a file server on my iMac G4 using a LocalTalk network, bridged to ethernet, ridged to WiFi.

I currently use:

• x3 Apple LocalTalk Adapter + Cables
  
• x1 D-Link Ethernet Switch
  
• x1 Assanté LocalTalk-Ethernet Adapter
  
• x1 Apple Airport Snow
  
• x1 Apple Airport Express (2nd Gen)
  
• Various Ethernet Cables
  

Here is a video where I very briefly demonstrate some of this equipment in action:

The 512Ke and Classic II are connected via LocalTalk, the Power Macintosh 8600 is connected via Ethernet and the iMac G4 is connected via WiFi. Yet, everything can communicate flawlessly.

I think I will upload some more videos later and make a whole channel out of it. I have achieved quite a few interesting feats with all this stuff, especially forwarding the 512K and it's HD20 over FTP onto the internet. I'll post more over christmas!
