This is a wild idea. I think I've seen it working. Buy TOPS for one
Mac and the PC. Publish (with TOPS) your favourite AppleShare folders on
the Mac. You should then be able to get to them from the PC. If both
Macs are on the Ethernet it would be a lot better than LocalTalk ones.

Does this work? Any takers? AppleShare PC II is a lot neater though.
