I'm pretty sure you can't get Appletalk to run across an SCSI 
connection.  You can, however, set up the Mac to be an Appletalk 
file server and connect them via an Appletalk network which is, 
fortunately, quite easy to set up.  You will have to buy some 
of the right wires and connectors, though I'm not familiar enough 
with them to do a good description.  You COULD go visit an Apple 
dealer, but it might be worth your time to hang around here until 
someone posts an alternate source.
