Support for AppleTalk was dropped from OS X v10.4 onwards. However, TCP/IP will suffice to mount drives from Macs running OS 9.1 to 10.4.x on a Tiger machine. You can mount a Tiger Mac's drive's alias on a client if the client runs from OS 7.6.1 to 10.4.x. The referenced thread is one of several in these Forums about networking.

The Macs with OS <7.6.1 must use a two-step process through an intermediary that is accessible to oldie and new alike. To preserve your sanity, the 68000 machines are best managed through EN/SC adapters and 10Base-T hubs into the existing autonegotiating (100Base-T) network. And despite my prior statement, I certainly have OS 10.4.11 Macs addressing OS 9.2.2 Macs as the servers without problem.
