Just went up at Bitsavers. Lots of info on how to write PC DOS programs that use LocalTalk services.

Thanks for sharing! I happen to have one of these LocalTalk ISA cards by Apple, so this will come in handy one day when I pick up a compatible PC...

Schematics and the driver are in the same directory, as well. The Apple-branded LocalTalk cards I gather are relatively rare.

I have a handful of ISA LocalTalk boards along with a COPS LT-1. At one time there was a Linux driver for the COPS and one could run netatalk on that interface (although not very well).

The cops driver was just removed this year! I'm trying to get a trashtalk driver to interface netatalk to localtalk via USB but time has been a tyrant. I would be curious to try it with the original cops driver (but I imagine you need Isa slots?), tashtalk works very well.
