I am still trying to figure out what system is best for the Duo so I have
installed 7.6.1, 8.0, 8.1 and even 9 -- all over AppleTalk. While it IS
slow, (especially System 9!) the AppleTalk connection works without a
glitch, no time outs. I just leave the 2 machines running and work on the
third one.
