<<(1) The product line give AppleTalk up.----THis means all previous Apple Macintoshes can not be connected via AppleTalk cable.-----The solution is that you need to purchase an Nu-bus based Ethernet card to connect to iMAC.

(2) This also means you can not use AppleTalk connected Printers.---YOu have to wait for the USB enabled printers.>>

My iMac Specialist <g> indicated that USB-Localtalk adapters would become available in the coming weeks at about $25. Take it for what it's worth.

Localtalk will be passe' within a few years, just like 68030's are today (ahh, I still remember with pride buying that first computer- a used IIci- from an Apple exec. for $1500. man did i get a deal!)
