[discussion to use local talk adapter or ethernet adapter with a clone
to network folders/directories between PC and Mac, instead of an
AST coprocessor]

The limitation here would be the transfer speed across the local talk or
ethernet cabling. With the AST coprocessor, you would not have this
limitation. Also, are you sure it is cheaper to buy an AT clone with
a Phoenix bios and networking cards plus hardware rather than just a 1500
list AST board?
