	I don't know about the APPLE card but we just got in a card from TANGENT
INC which was there APPLETALK PC CARD and to say the least we were IMPRESSED.
We also got in there software which allows a PC to mount disks on an 
appleshare network and their printer support software which allows you
to redirect lpt3: through lpt6:(?) to any device on an appletalk network.
We have now ordered 6 sets of the above to allow us to network PC's with MACS.
	Their software is also supposed to run on the Apple card but we have not
tested it as the apple cards are hard to get around here. The print software 
also works with lasershare running on a MAC. I believe tangent also have a 
spooler for the PC.

Hope this helps
