I have a few Farallon Localtalk PC cards for the ISA bus.
According to the box and manual, they are for "IBM XT's...
to Compaq 386's with frequencies up to 25MHz."
Needless to say, todays systems are a little faster, and
ISA is getting rarer and rarer. But I have a Pentium 166
system with an ISA bus, running Win 95, and I'm wondering
if anyone has made the Localtalk PC card work on such
a "fast" system?
It would be kind of fun to get my //e's and IIgs talking with
my old PC, since it's already on a network. Is this possible
with Windows, or does it require Linux and atalk?
