Installing a MacCon LC Card

If you have a Macintosh LC, LCII, or Color Classic computer, use the
MacCon LCIII or MacCon-i LC card to connect the Macintosh to the
Ethernet.

Caution

Only the LC and LCII computers can accept FPUs on the LC card. If
your Macintosh already has a math co-processor (or FPU), do not
install the Asanté math co-processor option with the card.

Refer to your Macintosh User’s Guide for illustrated instructions for
opening your computer.

Note: LCIII

card

—You can disable link integrity on the Mac-

Con LCIII card by setting the JP2 jumper as indicated in Figure
2-8. (For example, hubs made before the 10BaseT specifica-
tions were published do not support link integrity.)
