Mac --> AppleTalk --> PC

I'm wanting to network my IIsi and my 486PC so that I can share drives instead of switching my SyQuest rmovable back and forth between the two.  I am trying to find out how to create an AppleTalk network using my IIsi and my 486PC, do I need any extra hardware?  Windows 95 supports AppleTalk networks...

Say, I'd like to do the same with a PowerMac 9500 with System 7.5.5 and a 486-50C with Win 95, or a Quadra 900 with System 7.5.5 and a 486-50C with Wn 95.

The first answer to Disco that works for me is worth his point value at the time the comment or answer is submitted! (Hey, I'm good for the points)
Do you use Ethertalk or plain Appletalk. With plain Appletalk I know no possibility to connect this to a PC. So you need ethernet cards for your Mac and your PC.

I am not quite sure that Windows 95 is the best OS for this task. We use Windows NT and have no problems to connect the MACs and to share HDs and printers. Also with Linux you should be able to share your HDs and printers.
