- Howdy! I'm new to the group, and was just wondering if anyone knew of a quick
- 'n' dirty way to patch a PC into an existing AppleTalk network. The situation
- is that our dorm has some Macs running on a homemade ATalk network running
- AppleShare (?), but they would be willing to install TOPS if it would make
- things any easier. I do know that there is a BIOS vector in PC's that is
- addressed by ATALK.SYS and used by TOPS, but have no idea as to where/what/how
- to secure hardware to make the connection as another node to the network.

- Thanks bunches!
