It's worse than that. AppleTalk over Ethernet, which is available
under OS X 10.3 and 10.2 if you root around in networking prefs to
enable it, is only backwards-compatible with the AppleTalk of
relatively recent classic operating systems. You cannot, for
example, mount a MacOS 10.3 AppleTalk share on your System 6 Desktop,
and I think this is true of System 7 and early MacOS 8 as well.
(MacOS 8.6 can mount and be mounted by AppleTalk-on-OSX without
having to be AppleShare-on-TCP-IP; likewise with MacOS 9).
Dunno exactly where the cutoff point is, but I don't think a Mac
SE/30 will have any overlap with Jaguar or Panther OS X for AppleTalk
file sharing, i.e., the newest OS the SE/30 will run is too old to
mount or be mounted by any flavor of OS X.

At this moment ten members of my LAN (manually-assigned IP addresses)
are happily exchanging signals (and files, at need). Some crowded
desktops can result:
1400c/400MHz (OS 8.6)
540c (7.6.1)
540/117MHz (8.1)
9500/400MHz (9.1)
Colour Classic (7.6.1)
IIci/50MHz (7.5.5)
LCII/Quadra 605 (8.1)
iMac Indigo 500MHz (10.2.8)
iMac Snow 500MHz (10.3.9)
SE/30 (7.5.5)
with nothing more than the AppleShare/AppleTalk/OT that is native to
each OS, and two XNet 10/100Base-T switches and a D-Link modem-router
to mediate. Careful configuration, but no rooting around, required. I
haven't pressed any earlier System into the pool yet, but I have an
Asanté EN/SC adapter loaded and cocked for the opportune moment
(Classic/Classic II/PB 180).
