I seem to recall that in the case of a two node appletalk system (specifically my Mac II and a laserwriter), the two appletalk kits are not absolutely neccesary, as you can use an IW II cable to connect tho two. Could anyone out there please confirm my suspicions?

This is not an approved connection, but it works and is much cheaper than getting two AppleTalk kits.
