> Appletalk is the way to go, the drivers are built in

The article author claims the networking software wasn't installed, though.

I was thinking this too. And the author also says they didn't believe they'd be able to read the HFS volume, but Linux has had an HFS driver for... decades?... at this point.



I assume they must have meant it doesn't have any TCP/IP networking software installed. As I recall, Macs had AppleTalk hardware from the very beginning and AppleTalk software was a built-in part of Mac OS. I don't know if it's even possible to remove if you tried.


Appletalk was installed by default in all Macs of that era - the author is talking about TCP/IP
