Thanks Tom,

Sure makes sense, will go with option 2.

Checked firmware on ST70 and its up to date, it was bought in 2014.
ST70 seems to work if I power it up before anything else on the backbone, but then may still freeze after some hours. If I power it later, joining the game it freezes after a few seconds.

I will go back to only connecting the ST70 with SeaTalk 1 and get a conversion kit to bridge. Hope this will work ok.

Regarding power you haven't voiced any opinion. As I have only some very light consumers on N2k I would prefer to continue to power both, SeaTalk1 and N2k from the course computer.

If you think that's a bad idea, I would the want to only power N2k from another source and leave SeaTalk one powered by the S3G.
That would either mean that I would have to cut the red wire in the SeaTalk 1 Spur cable. Or I keep the converter powered from SeaTalk and not connect the red wire in the spliced backbone cable.
