OK, there's a list of compatible Macs and their OS on the Yahoo EII Users site. Look under the database section. Yes, the Powerbook 165/180's work but not everything is always 100%, different Mac's require different settings etc. as you'll see on the Mac info list. 

I suppose the best computer connection would be the one with the best spec/largest HD for storing sounds..? The Mac Classic's etc. have small hard drives, usually 40-120MB which soon fill up. External SCSI hard/zip drives are always an option though. As for crashing, all computers crash so wouldn't say one is better than another.

I trust you've checked what revision your EII is...?

how funny.

I have a working Mac Classic with SD installed & Cable & SCSI CD drive & CD.

I'm waiting on my HxC to arrive, then I'm gonna install it in my EII.

After I get it all working, I was going to sell off the Mac and everything else as I won't be needing it.

Trust me when I say getting my EII to talk to the Mac was not the most pleasant journey.. 4x Macs and I eventually got there... even more of a pain in the arse when you only have a PC. It aged me.

And I'm in Australia (Sydney)

Regards
Mike

Did you really succeed in using this PB with the EII ?
I never succeeded in getting the 5300C to work with any EII+, so I would be interested to know "the trick" how to do it (a specific setting in Mac OS ?)

Same here, tried loads of times with that single serial port and no luck here either....
