[CDG5] LocalTalk thoughts

[Elliot Nunn]

Very cool project! I second what Daniel said: consider giving it enough protocol stack to support LToUDP.

I don’t think I’ve ever touched the ltlk resources. IIRC they were build separately from the rest of the System, and I’ve never seen the AppleTalk source tree. I will check at home.

BTW something related that I hacked on last night: trying to get the Classic’s NetBOOT driver to work inside Mini vMac.
