No SNA frames were forwarded, though. For reasons I fail to apprehend, apparently only IPv4 (and maybe IPv6) frames are considered worthy to be forwarded by what I perceive as pure L2 infrastructure components. For oder Macs, AppleTalk is almost a must have. At least to me. For now I'd assume that this might also fail to be forwarded.
The new sort of SCSI <-> ethernet is being made primarily for Mac users,
so I expect it would move AppleTalk correctly. I guess I don't know how
AppleTalk over ethernet really works to be able to comment further, but
I've seen videos of people using these devices, so it seems like it
should be possible somehow.
