My mistake. It was ment to read LocalTalk(Trade Mark), not LocalTalkT.
And the prices mentioned are just informative. The most expensive Mac I got
from a thrift store (a PowerMac 6500/300 with 64MB RAM) was $20. Last month
I bought a Performa 5200CD with TV tuner and capture card for $6.
I'm sorry I got carried away. This an Apple ][ group after all.
