Re: Network between Mac G3 and Apple IIGS

[Blake Patterson <blake@blakespot.com>]

	I have a b&w G3 400 and a IIgs.  I purchased a Stealth Serial Port
(http://www.geethree.com) and do LocalTalk right from the G3 to the
IIgs.  No sweat.  Works fine under OS 9.0.4 (and previously under OS
8.6).  Not sure of OS X will maintain LocalTalk ability -- but the setup
is great for me --- can see everything on the 20GB of my G3 from the
IIgs.  Fine.
