We use the Apple LocalTalk Card running AppleTalk for PC's V2.01 (I'm not 
exactly sure that is the right name of the software as I am not at the office
right now, but it is an Apple product.)  The card itself costs $115 from the 
local Apple dealer.

If you want to put the card in a machine that is running QEMM v5.0, you have to 
install it as interrupt driven rather than polled.
