Networking Apples and Oranges

[csarchet@sinclair.net (Charles J. Sarchet)]

I have the following computers that I would like to somehow network
together for the purposes of file and printer sharing.

2 PC Clones with 100 Mb/s Ethernet cards (100 Base TX) (Windows
NT/98/Linux)
1 Quadra 900 with 10 Mb/2 Ethernet adapter (10 Base T) (System 8)
2 IIgs (System 6)

And the following other gear

1 10 Base T/100 Base TX Speed Repeater (8 port)
1 100 Base TX Hub (8 port)
HP LaserJet 4

I know that the Windows NT is supposed to have some sort of support
for the Mac but I don't have all of the hardware here to try it out
yet.

I also know that I should be able to talk to the Mac from the GS
through an Appletalk network, and that you used to be able to actually
boot the GS off of the network although I don't know if that is still
supported.

So for those of you with more experience then I at this, can I hook
these together so that I can transfer files to and from each machine?
Can I share a printer that is connected on one of the PC's with the
Mac and the GS' or is there a way to hook it up to the Mac to do the
reverse?  What additional hardware/software will I need?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Chuck :-)
