The feeling when your desk has been rearranged for a year and there is no more room for the Imagewriter II... but then you remember you have AirTalk!

Is anyone using AirTalks for their #MARCHintosh projects? I have some and will use them (need to get proper DIN cables) but I'm wondering if they are solving any issues for anyone right now?

After a few tries I was able to fully print from Quark XPress to the ImageWriter II over with the from the ! It wasn’t quick but it worked!

Using Timbuktu over a (wireless!) AirTalk, controlling my Mac Classic II via Mini VMac on my desktop. Let's catalog our "Film & Video Library" in FileMaker Pro 4!

Connecting to an AirTalk doesn't have to be a Mac. You can connect it to a LocalTalk enabled printer! Here I've connected it to my ImageWriter II with LocalTalk card installed. I can print to it from Mini VMac!

So what can you do with an AirTalk? Here's one example:

I've connected my Mac Classic II to an AirTalk. Using Mini VMac (with UDP networking compiled). Both have File Sharing enabled. Both can see the each other's file servers!

New hardware has arrived and it comes with a floppy disk! 👀
