* Two high-speed serial ports, one of which is GeoPort ready, the other is LocalTalk

Like LocalTalk, the theoretical maximum speed for data transfer was 230 kbit / s, and it is generally used in a daisy chain topology.

The initial default hardware implementation for AppleTalk was a high-speed serial protocol known as LocalTalk that used the Macintosh's built-in RS-422 ports at 230. 4 kbit / s.

Instead of using expensive shielded twisted pair wiring as in Apple's LocalTalk implementation, PhoneNet uses standard four-conductor telephone patch cords and modular connectors.

Early installations used mainly LocalTalk and more recently Ethernet but any physical medium could be used which could be directly or indirectly connected to an AppleShare server system.

| AppleTalk / LocalTalk

With its release, AppleTalk Personal Network was renamed LocalTalk.

These included updates to EtherTalk and TokenTalk, AppleTalk software and LocalTalk hardware for the IBM PC, EtherTalk for Apple's A / UX operating system allowing it to use LaserPrinters and other network resources, and the Mac X. 25 and MacX products.

Each node dynamically chose its own node number, according to a protocol ( originally the LocalTalk Link Access Protocol LLAP and later the AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol, AARP ) which handled contention between different nodes accidentally choosing the same number.

Marathon network games can be played over AppleTalk Remote, LocalTalk, TokenTalk, Ethernet, and more recently, a LAN network or the Internet.

Based on the AppleTalk protocol stack, LocalTalk connected the LaserWriter to the Mac over an RS-422 serial port.

The LaserWriter was also the first peripheral to use the LocalTalk connector and Apple ’ s unified round AppleTalk Connector Family, which allowed any variety of mechanical networking systems to be plugged into the ports on the computers or printers.

The IIGS also supported booting from an AppleShare server, via the AppleTalk protocol, over LocalTalk cabling.

Several other similar systems also existed with even higher performance, but these often required special cabling that was incompatible with LocalTalk / PhoneNet, and also required patches to the networking stack that often caused problems.

LANs were complex and expensive, so Apple developed its own networking scheme, LocalTalk.

Apple often makes use of new or unusual hardware systems ; they were the first vendor to make widespread use of Sony's 3. 5 " floppy drive, and they devised their own Apple Desktop Bus system for keyboards and mice, their own LocalTalk networking system, the high-speed FireWire serial interface for storage and video transfer, the 30-pin iPod dock connector, and non-standard display interfaces such as ADC, Mini-DVI, and Mini DisplayPort.

It utilized Apple's built-in networking scheme LocalTalk which made it more affordable shared among several users.

Apple offered LocalTalk and EtherTalk networking upgrades in the form of external print server devices.

Stanford University pioneered development of a system, MacIP, that allowed IP packets to be routed over LocalTalk networks with the support of a suitable " gateway " machine.

LocalTalk specifies a system of shielded twisted pair cabling, plugged into self-terminating transceivers, running at a rate of 230. 4 kbit / s.

LocalTalk used a splitter box in the RS-422 port to provide an upstream and downstream cable from a single port.

The topology was a bus: cables were daisy-chained from each connected machine to the next, up to the maximum of 32 permitted on any LocalTalk segment.

One common replacement for LocalTalk was PhoneNet, a 3rd party solution ( from a company called Farallon, now called Netopia ) that also used the RS-422 port and was indistinguishable from LocalTalk as far as Apple's LocalTalk port drivers were concerned, but ran over the two unused wires in standard four-wire phone cabling.

These included a port to attach floppy disk drives, two serial ports for devices such as printers and modems ( which could also be used to connect to a LocalTalk network ), an Apple Desktop Bus port to connect the keyboard and mouse, and composite and RGB video ports.

A similar solution was the 850 kbit / s DaynaTalk, a separate box which plugged in between the computer and a normal LocalTalk / PhoneNet box, and also offered as a PC expansion card that ran up to 1. 7 Mbit / s.

As with LocalTalk, a number of 3rd party adaptors quickly appeared.

* Apple's LocalTalk implemented CSMA / CA on an electrical bus using a three-byte jamming signal.

At 230. 4 kbit / s LocalTalk was slower than the Centronics PC parallel interface, but allowed several computers to share a single LaserWriter.

If a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

Evidence is plentiful that early and later also he has been indebted to the Gothic romancers, who deal in extravagant horror, to the symbolists writing at the end of the preceding century, and in particular to the stream-of-consciousness novelists, Henry James and James Joyce among them.

Ptolemy's problem is to forecast where, against the inverted bowl of night, some particular light will be found at future times.

The strongest appeal of the Copernican formulation consisted in just this: ideally, the justification for dealing with special problems in particular ways is completely set out in the basic ' rules ' of the theory.

The `` conventional '' image of a particular time and place is not necessarily congruent with the image of the facts as established over the years by scholarly and scientific research.

The symposium provides an opportunity to confront the self with specific statements which were made at particular times by identifiable communicators who were addressing definite audiences -- and throughout several hundred pages everyone is talking about the same key symbol of identification.

But there is one in particular which, it seems to me, deserves special attention.

At Sounion there is a group of beautiful columns, the ruins of a temple to Poseidon, of particular interest at that time, as active reconstruction was in progress.

Each will decide on his own course somewhere between these two extreme cases according to the sense of responsibility which is determined for him by the particular circumstances of his own life.

In Plato's mind there is an irresolvable conflict between the poet and the philosopher, because the poet imitates only particular objects and is incapable of rising to the first level of abstraction, much less the highest level of ideal forms.

The wisdom of granting such tax exemptions is another matter, but this particular instance is, in my opinion, completely satisfactory.

It makes no difference what part of the world is involved, what form of regime, what particular issue.

Molotov, in particular, is being charged with all kinds of sins -- especially with wanting to cut down free public services, to increase rents and fares ; ;

It would seem, then, that movable property and equipment is not taxed as a whole but that certain types are taxed in towns where this is bound to be expedient for that particular kind of personal property.

It is not clear, however, whether they are thinking of all movable property or only of boats, trailers, aircraft or certain other types of personal property whose assessment would be advantageous to their particular towns.

If the resulting difference for the particular State is less or more than these extremes, the State's allotment percentage must be raised or lowered to the appropriate extreme.

Determine if the particular State's unadjusted allotment ( result obtained in item 11 above ) is greater than its maximum allotment, and if so lower its unadjusted allotment to its maximum allotment.

Determine if the particular State's unadjusted allotment ( result obtained in item 11 above ) is less than its minimum ( base ) allotment, and if so raise its unadjusted allotment to its minimum allotment.

If the resulting difference for the particular State is less or more than these extremes, the State's Federal share must be raised or lowered to the appropriate extreme.

For this reason, the more uncertain skywave service was denominated `` secondary '' in our rules, as compared to the steadier, more reliable groundwave `` primary service '', and, for both skywave service and skywave interference, signal strength is expressed in terms of percentage of time a particular signal-intensity level is exceeded -- 50 percent of the time for skywave service, 10 percent of the time for skywave interference.

The exercise I shall discuss in this -- the first of a new series of articles on muscle definition-specialization of a particular body part -- is the One Leg Lunge.
