I don't own Spectre ( I'm waiting for a Mac emulator that incorporates Appletalk), so this is probably a naive question, but here goes: It seems to me that Appletalk, and any other 'interface' for the Mac, runs from the chooser D.A. If this is the case, how hard would it be to write a Desk Accessory just for the ST that would run Appletalk, perhaps via the MIDI port? Or is the Appletalk protocal the stumbling block (this seems unlikely, since I have heard of PC Appletalk cards)? Or is it simply that there appears to be little market for it? If the last answer is the right answer, please read the references. "Just my (own) two cents..." --Andy Hulse
