My GatorBox doesn't enable my IIGS and my G4 mini to talk to each other
directly.  They're both able to talk to a Linux box running netatalk,
though, so files can be moved between systems that way.

http://netatalk.darwinports.com/ suggests that netatalk can be installed on
Mac OS X to reenable functionality that Apple has removed.  I've not tried
it yet, though.

(I just put netatalk on my iPhone yesterday...should be fun to see if my GS
will talk to it. :-) )
