My compliments to those involved in the thread on Localtalk. I have learned a bit and the information is well presented.
Now, my 2 shekels: Have you considered Localtalk Bridge? LTB is a software extension Apple developed back in System 7.n to allow a Ethernet and Localtalk equipped Mac to act as a bridge between the 2 topologies. I have a network that includes a Laserwriter GS, a ImageWriter II and a ImageWriterLQ all of which are on both the localtalk, and in the case of the Laserwriter, the Ethernet wires. At one time I had a LCIII Mac with a Asante PDS ethernet card running MacOS 7.5.3 and LTBridge acting as the switcher. Worked like a champ. By the way I ALSO Have my screamer Apple IIGS ROM3 (with a Vulcan 150mb hard drive, TranswarpGS Accelerator at 6mhz, 5mb memory and other stuff) on the Localtalk wires so that it can share files with a Appleshare 3.0.3 server I run that is also hooked to the Umax, my dual G4 mirrored door, a Beige, and this and that (plus a Win98 PC running COPSTALK and an XP Pro box running PCMacLAN.
