I was reading through this Macintouch report today and spotted some interesting info about how Netatalk could be used on Snow Leopard Macs to solve AppleTalk printing and fileserving problems. My older post in this thread talks about how to connect to vintage Macs using OS 10.4.x. But of course, most of us use 10.6 now, which breaks the OS X filesharing solution I posted before due to the lack of a compatible AppleTalk protocol (in OS 10.6) for those older Macs. But it would appear that Netatalk brings back that compatibility by restoring the needed protocol under 10.6! I certainly will be giving Netatalk a try when I find some free time, but for now I am quite curious -- have any of you been able to network with old System 7 Macs via Netatalk? (I am talking about "file sharing," not printing.)
