- Well, I've only used Universal Network once, at my local Atari dealer, and then
- for only a few minutes. It was connected between a TT and a Mega STe, and was
- used to allow the MSTe to access the TT's hard drive. They didn't have a net
- printer set up there, so I don't know if that can be done, and I have no idea
- about Appletalk/Novell compatibility.
