The IIgs had an ApplwTalk card available for it; the IIe had the
LocalTalk Workstation card.  I found a source of refurbed LocalTalk
Workstation cards for US$149 each.  Is it worth that price?  Maybe the
ednet people do better--I noticed in one of their graphics that the
Apple IIs were communicating at 230Kbps, which sounds suspiciously like
LocalTalk.
