No, Snow Leopard does not do AppleTalk protocols any more! (Leopard does.)
Thanks! Very useful to know. Will specifically ask for Leopard instead of SL.
Bear in mind that any up-to-date Mac will ship with Snow Leopard and that
running Leopard on it will not be an option; a Mac, pretty much as a rule, cannot be booted into any version of OS X earlier than the one with which it shipped.
