Just following up to say that Netatalk 2.0.3 works over DDP with 7.6... with 7.1.1... all the way down to an unenhanced Mac 512 with System 4, Finder 5.4 and AppleShare Client 1.1(booting from a 400k floppy disk with HD20 Init to support HFS). PhoneNet routed through a PowerBook 520 using LocalTalk Bridge.
..I think this safely proves backwards compatibility to the Fall of 1986.
Only quirk was the 512 seeing smaller volumes as read-only -- and triggering a Finder crash with multi-gigabyte volumes.
So now I'll start building new revisions of Netatalk, until DDP starts failing with Signal 11 in /var/log/messages. I have a feeling that's going to be about 2.1.x, but we'll see...
