   I have tried testing the "patched" v1.3 revision of the link layer that   
   disables interrupts in the buffer routines. It didn't really improve   
   things. Hopefully the bugs will eventually figured out. MacIP is much   
   more accessible to IIgs users with the introduction of devices like the   
   TashTalk and AirTalk.   
      
   Unfortunately, 816 ASM isn't something I'm too familiar with. Setting up   
   the assembler environment to build the link layer was an adventure on   
   its own. At least I'm all setup to test any future developments.

   This is being worked on. The ball has already started with adding   
   AppleTalk support back into a future release of Netatalk.
