Back in the early nineties I worked at Miramar Systems on an AFP server and actually a full AppleTalk stack that ran on Windows 3.11 (VxDs!) and OS/2. Macs could run full AFP and whatever the printer protocol was called to a network of PCs.

IBM sold a version of our stuff that was called LanServer for Macintosh so back then Macs and AFP were covered!

It was quite a popular product at the time. Although I never enjoyed working on Macs I thought that AFP was pretty cool. We all had "Inside AppleTalk" pretty much memorised - what a great book.
