I purchased a Stealth Serial Port (http://www.geethree.com) and do LocalTalk right from the G3 to the IIgs. No sweat. Works fine under OS 9.0.4 (and previously under OS 8.6). Not sure of OS X will maintain LocalTalk ability -- but the setup is great for me --- can see everything on the 20GB of my G3 from the IIgs. Fine. bp "Clayburn W.
