OS X 10.1.2 works with appletalk now. I have an LC III running 7.5.3
(no appleshare over TCP)  with Appleshare 3.0 running over ethernet,
and was sending files around last night. I moved all the Apple II
stuff down to the electronics lab where it will be easier to access
while I tinker.  It's  not very fast for some reason, but it did work.

Hope this helps
