As in OS X, you just turn on file sharing in OS 9. Then on the older

So just use it as a shared network drive as opposed to using the OS 9
box as a bridge of some sort?
Right. You use it that way because both the older systems (System 6-OS
9) and the newer systems (OS X) can access the OS 9 shared drives.
Anyone know if there would be a way to use it as a bridge? Like, I
dunno, use Appletalk over Localtalk for the classics and TCP/IP for OS
X and brisge them with a 9 box doing both in the middle?
Sure. I used LocalTalk Bridge on my OS 9 machine (a Beige G3 tower)
for a long time. I had my compacts on a PhoneNet network, and
everything else was on ethernet (wired or wireless). Worked great.
I really don't know, just trying to think of a way to be able to
browse to the old machines using Tiger and vice versa.
You probably won't be able to browse directly, which is why I suggested
using the OS 9 box to serve both. That's waht I have done and had good
success with it.
