Summary: I just figured it out.


From another article I surmised that Localtalk is the Appletalk that
allows direct connection of the Laserwriter to a Mac without the network.

The reason Localtalk and Ethertalk don't work together is probably 
because they expect certain resources to be there that are specific
to each of them but have the same resource name/number. This is the
same situation with Asynchronous Appletalk and Regular Flavor Appletalk.
