Setting up file-sharing in older operating systems is a bit different but not too difficult. First enable file sharing through either the control strip or the control panel. Highlight the folder or file that you want to share, then go to the File menu and scroll down. Under "Get Info" you'll find "Sharing." Select it and follow the prompts. Access to Appletalk differs between operating systems. In older OS such as 7.1 or 7.5, you access Appletalk through the Network control panel, where you can switch between ethernet or Local Talk. In systems 8x and above Appletalk has its own control panel. I always got hung up with using ethernet through Appletalk until I realized that I had to save the settings in Appletalk before it would connect for me. After switching between ethernet or local talk, I then close that control panel and the computer asks me if I want to save the changes in the settings. I click yes and it works. Lots of frustration until I finally got it right but it works all the time right now. BTW, I have connected my Powerbook 170 to my iMac at work using a SSCI to ethernet mini-adapter.
