   Big *if* there. Unfortunately, no model of the //c or IIc+ ever
had any Appletalk functionality, so that's out.

   Next assumption of yours: this //c has 3.5" capabilities and/or the
Mac has 5.25" capabilities. Only the IIc+ had the internal 3.5" drive;
all //cs had builtin 5.25" drives.  Additionally, the very first ROM
version of the //c did not have support for external 3.5" drives,
while later ones did. On the other hand, Macs without the //e
Emulation card have no 5.25" support.

   I invite you to read the comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ) at http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html section 2.*
for more information as to the capabilities of various models of the
Apple II; all of the above info is paraphrased from the FAQ.
