Well their original Xerox clone was the Lisa. The Macintosh was turned into a scaled down Lisa once Jobs was moved to that project.
And the Lisa could talk something they called AppleNet.

AppleTalk because of the serial chip they put in it.

IIRC even the Apple II could do AppleTalk. Often used in classrooms to share a single hard drive among a dozen or more computers.
