<AppleTalk and its File Sharing works just fine in System 7.5.2, I believe. Use PhoneNet connectors to go from the PowerBook to your PM
7200.>
I've never seen or heard of PhoneNet connectors, unless you mean telephone wire of the sort you use on a modem or telephone. I guess this means another Google, huh?
Buzzwords 101
Localtalk is a 230Kb/s physical network that runs from old Mac to Mac via the serial jacks & cables. It's really RS-485, or close to it.
Localtalk *carries* Appletalk (and ?Appleprint/Appleshare?) _applications_ .
Later, Ethernet became the far superiour transport alternative to Localtalk, still carrying Apple[talk/print/share] but often called Ethertalk.
Even later, Apple moved from Appletalk to err... Appletalk functionality over TCP/IP. Looks the same on the surface, but within...
Usually there's a Control Panel to select which port, the serial one or Ethernet or sometimes IR.
PhoneNet was a Fallon scheme that substituted modular phone cables and adapters for the pricey Localtalk cables. It's STILL Localtalk.
Now, I bet everyone on this list has excess Localtalk/PhoneNet stuph and is willing to make you a deal. I know I've got lots!!!
