I just went through this last nite with my PB520c (OS 8.1) and my PowerMac
6500 (OS 8.6) and there are a couple of things you need to get right.
First, AppleTalk on both machines must be set to "Modem/Printer", neither
can be set to "Remote Only".
Along with turning on File Sharing for the shared computer or both. On Mac
OS 8.5 and higher sharing preferences for each drive can be set at the
"cmd-Info" option. But in lower OSs you must highlight the drive and then
choose "Sharing" from the file menu.
Then in the control panel Users & Groups, you must create users with
passwords for logging into the respective machines.
Hope this helps.
Tonite I plan on doing the same with my PB100 (OS 7.1) and the PowerMac,
just because I can. I am such a nerd.
