Hello all!

I posted last year about how System 7.5/7.6 couldn't connect to 10.6 when it worked just fine in 10.5.  They made a change in AFP versioning, and it simply wouldn't work anymore.  

I don't know if any of you play around with VirtualBox from Sun/Oracle, but it now supports hosting Intel versions of Mac OS X as a guest on an actual Intel Mac.  Supposedly, it's only for Server, but the client works too.  I have hosted 10.5 on my 27 inch iMac (which requires 10.6 to boot) and by setting the network to bridge, can share out (the virtual drive) to my 7.6 PowerMac again.  Once they add "Guest Additions" for OS X, we should be able to share our actual 10.6 Hard Drive to a System 7.5/7.5 Mac again.

FYI, System 9, or 7.5-8.6 with ShareWay IP, can still SERVE to 10.6 directly.  It's just been the other way around that has broken.
