Not possible directly. You can use Ethernet to NCU with Mac only, since
Macs support Appletalk networking too, and Appletalk works over
LocalTalk(serial) or Ethernet. PC's only support serial, not Appletalk.
BUT....if you get a Mac emulator that runs on your PC and supports
AppleTalk and Ethernet, THEN you can run Mac NCU in the Mac emulator on
your PC. Unfortunately, to LEGALLY use the emualtor, you have to own a
Mac in order to download the ROMS for the emulator to use. Anything else
is illegal. And since you have the Mac already, you may as well just
use that. I think some folks here got it to work using Basilisk, but I
can't guide you there, as I use Mac, not PC (except at work, and I take
my Mac laptop there, anyway.)
