  • Trying to learn more about my DaynaTALK MC LocalTalk Network Adapter

    From Steven Mac84@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 18 14:08:48 2023
    Hello everyone,

    My name is Steve, I run a YouTube channel called Mac84, but although my focus is Apple stuff, I do enjoy all vintage systems. David (IBMMuseum) suggested I make a post here (and elsewhere) to try and learn more about the interesting MC card I have.

    I have an IBM 50z and I bought this DaynaTalk MC LocalTalk card. It has a mini-din 8 connector on it for plugged into Apple's LocalTalk or Farallon's PhoneNet cable systems. I have the ADF file (@612D.ADF) and the system sees the card. It also doesn't
    seem to be the longer version I've seen photos of online, mine is probably 6-7 inches in length.

    However, I am very, very curious as to what software is compatible with this card?

    In my testing Apple's AppleShare PC and Farallon's PhoneNET software don't seem to see the card. Farallon's PhoneNET set up program does show a list of network cards it works with, including a DayStart MC card, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with
    my DaynaTalk card. Whereas Apple's software halts the MS-DOS booting process when trying to start the services under DOS 3.31.

    The only lead I have is someone mentioning TOPS to me, but I am very curious if anyone is aware of any software that works with this card.

    Thanks!
    -Steve
