There is a Netatalk porting effort underway.  There is a mailing list for
discussing it - to subscribe, visit http://www.fugue.com/netbsd-atalk.
It's almost completely machine independent - the only machine dependent
part is to allow the appletalk stack to receive soft interrupts.  The
MD diffs for i386, sparc and amiga are trivial, so I imagine the atari
ones will be also.  The port is mostly working and is available at
ftp://toccata.fugue.com/pub/netbsd-atalk/961121.

I'm going to try it on my NetBSD/sparc at work as I (still) haven't got
around to putting NetBSD on my TT :(  If anyone is interested, I can keep
them posted of developments.  Also, if anyone wants to see the previous
messages on the atalk list, I have them archived.
