Does the SCSI powerbook have ethernet?
Then three ethernet cables and an ethernet hub would be the easiest way.
If the SCSI powerbook doesn't have ethernet, find a daynaport
SCSI/ethernet adapter on eBay to make the connection.

I have a Wallstreet PowerBook G3 running 8.6 with an 802.11b wireless
card and I've shared files with several other Macs running OS X, some of
them also wireless:

SCSI PowerBook ("Wallstreet") G3, MacSense AeroCard, MacOS 8.6
iBook G3, Airport, 10.2
iBook G3, Airport, 10.3
iMac G4, wired, 10.3
Asante wireless router

If you plan to do wireless OS9-to-OS9 filesharing (i.e., AppleTalk),
make sure your wireless router can route AppleTalk traffic in addition
to standard TCP/IP packets. After much research, I've found that there
are two manufacturers of such routers: Asante (FR1104-G and its 802.11
predecessor) and Belkin (F5D7230-4). Apple's own Airport Base Stations
probably also support it but they were beyond my budget and so I didn't
check explicitly.

No, you don't need a router; you can talk directly computer-to-computer
over wireless in what some call an "ad hoc" wireless network.

In the Network preferences, choose Airport and click the Airport tab,
and mark the "Allow this computer to create networks" checkbox. Then
from the Airport menubar icon (or from Internet Connect) choose Create
Network and name your private little network.

Subsequent wireless computers within range will see the computer's
network and can join it as if they saw one from a wireless router.
