It looks like someone has moved columns at the bottom of the GlobalTalk spreadsheet and WIPED OUT some of the network ranges information.
I have a screenshot of my info so someone with WRITE access could restore it.
I think this will need to be restored so others don't use these numbers.
I have sent an email to [email protected]
#GlobalTalk Been doing a lot of performance testing & designing a vintage-gaming network. Here is a screenshot of my results.
Sub-networks in 3 states (OH, KY, FL) connected to my GlobalTalk IIsi router in Cincinnati. We have about 10 hours of network gaming time so far.
To put this together, I have recapped motherboards and PSUs (or made PSUs from CayMac PCBs) and added 10baseT cards in 4 Mac IIsi, 4 LC III, and 1 LC II. We also have 3 PowerPCs for some games that don't support 68k.
3 of us who used to have network parties in high school and college got old Mac/LISA computers and connected them from our houses using the GlobalTalk.
We played Spaceward Ho! And WarCraft (the original). It works great!
Turn based games should work well with any GlobalTalk setup but for the live action games I suggest 10-baseT.
We found a lot of gigabit switches don’t like the old 10BT cards so we had to go to a resale shop and get some 10/100 hubs as intermediaries.
Here is my current network map.
Ran into problems until I ran a network test and found out how slow BlueSCSI's DaynaPort emulation is. Have tested several games through the router so far:
RoboSport
Spaceward Ho
Warcraft
Armor Alley
An overview and Introduction to using the cool new GlobalTalk network for vintage Apple computers and I am using an Apple LISA computer for the demo!
P.S. Trying to get a friend connected also, anyone have a IISI power supply that you are willing to part with?
