How come LocalTalk was never adapted to the 8-bit Atari?
"When the newly-christened AppleTalk shipped in early 1985, it included a number of compromises. These included a speed of 230.4 kbit/s, 1000 feet maximum distance, and only 32 nodes per LAN...The entire networking stack required only about 6 kB of RAM"
AppleTalk uses a Zilog 8035
AppleTalk was included in some 68000 Atari computers
Opensource drivers for AppleTalk called Netatalk
The history of LocalTalk hardware
Looks like a similar implementation of the RS-422 Corvus OmniNet
