    This article describes compatibility between Mac OS 8.5 and LocalTalk Bridge 2.1.

DISCUSSION

    The Open Transport 2.0 Read Me -- Part 1 states the following:

    "Apple LocalTalk Bridge 2.1 is compatible with Open Transport. (See Known Incompatibilities for more information.)
    However, there is no additional information under Known Incompatibilities."

    Apple has done only limited testing with Apple LocalTalk Bridge under Mac OS 8.5.

    LocalTalk Bridge 2.1 is not completely compatible with Mac OS 8.5, and no update to this product is expected.

    Customers should be aware of the following issue:

    When LocalTalk Bridge 2.1 is installed, switching AppleTalk from Ethernet to another port may cause difficulties. Customers should disable LocalTalk before switching ports.
