    For all I know, Appletalk is dead, the only reasonable
    use right now would be nostalgia, and that can be served
    well enough by old kernels. The code is largely not
    in a bad shape, but it still uses the big kernel lock,
    and nobody seems motivated to change that.
    
    FWIW, the last release of MacOS that supported Appletalk
    was MacOS X 10.5, made in 2007, and it has been abandoned
    by Apple with 10.6. Using TCP/IP instead of Appletalk has
    been supported since MacOS 7.6, which was released in
    1997 and is able to run on most of the legacy hardware.
