There was a Localtalk/PC from Apple which consisted of an ISA card (with on board 6502 + sio) - I have one such card here. PC sios aren't suitable since appletalk requires HDLC capable sios like the Zilog 8350 as they can be found also in Sun3 models. Very unlikely that such a driver exists. > > Anybody any idea if this is feasible or not?
