What is Local Talk?

[ahecht]

Ahh, Local Talk brings back memories. I once was working in an office with a series of macs on a Local Talk network (including a then brand new iMac, which needed an ethernet to Local Talk adapter), and they were having a weird problem where every computer in the office would lock up at exactly 52 minutes past the hour, every hour. Unplugging a computer from the network would solve the problem on that computer only, and when I went and systematically unplugged every computer one at a time, I was unable to find the computer that was causing the problem.

I never did get that one solved.
