Using Timbuktu over a (wireless!) AirTalk, controlling my Mac Classic II via Mini VMac on my desktop. Let's catalog our "Film & Video Library" in FileMaker Pro 4!

The Classic II is online via a PPP connection (sans modem sounds). Here’s Frog Find and 68k.news from @ActionRetro via Netscape 2.0!

Connecting to an AirTalk doesn't have to be a Mac. You can connect it to a LocalTalk enabled printer! Here I've connected it to my ImageWriter II with LocalTalk card installed. I can print to it from Mini VMac!
