The Farallon AirDock is only advertised as being a way to connect up a PowerBook with infrared wirelessly, but reading the manual, it doesn’t actually need any drivers - just plugging it into the printer port it acts like a normal LocalTalk connection.
The included software is just needed to act as a LocalTalk bridge, or if you want to use the modem port instead.
That’s what gave me the courage to try to just plug it straight into the ImageWriter…

First I tried connecting the AirDock straight to my AsanteTalk, but for whatever reason that didnt work (the AsanteTalk is picky enough with a wired setup…), so right now my IIcx is running a bog-standard install of LocalTalk Bridge to get the printer onto #GlobalTalk

@kalleboo@bitbang.social I used to use one to sync my Newton.
