One reason for rebuilding netatalk is I wanted to run TashRouter on the same machine. It’s doesn’t work right on the MacIPGW image because of the “split horizon” patch.
I can now freely use AppleTalk devices on EtherTalk, LocalTalk (PhoneNet!), and LToUDP (Mini VMac). This enables, for instance, printing to an ImageWriter II from my modern Mac running System 7.5 in Mini VMac! (There were lots of bugs to resolve to get the ImageWriter II working!)
