The best solution I've found for running LocalTalk (AppleTalk on RS-422 wiring) and EtherTalk (AppleTalk on Ethernet) in the same house is to pick up a bridge. Asante makes a little item called "AsanteTalk", about the size of a cigarette pack, that hooks into your Ethernet and lets you daisy chain your old LocalTalk-only items onto it. I don't remember what the max. number of LocalTalk devices that the firmware supported, possibly eight. One other thought: there was an old trick when setting up a LocalTalk "network" that consisted of only two nodes. You can get away with a plain-vanilla RS-422 "printer cable", skipping the two LocalTalk Connector Kits. Sometimes. Some printers were too clever by half and detected a non-kosher connection of this sort, and wouldn't grok AppleTalk unless they had a genu-wine LT Connector Kit attached. The original HP DeskWriter was like that; the Select 360 might be the same. Just in case you were trying to go the poor-man's LocalTalk route.
