Re: IIgs appletalk startup

You need AppleShare 3.0 installed on the Mac (IIRC, AppleShare 2.0
might also work). The services that come with OS9 allow file sharing
and printer sharing, but do not have the capability to netboot a II/
IIgs.

Starting with AppleShare 4.x, remote booting of an Apple II has been
removed. AppleShare 3.0 occasionally appears on eBay, or may even be
in asimov.

hi, i am tying to get a IIgs to netboot from a g3 mac and have hit
kind of a snag.

first off, i have a vanilla rom3 gs w/ 2 meg ram. i have os9.1 on the
mac and gs/os
on 3.5 floppies. the g3's appletalk connection is set to printer port,
and the gs's
slot 1 and slot 7 are set to appletalk. they are connected together as such.

i made the 'network 3.5 disk' on the gs, setup the appletalk network
between the
two to automatically login to the mac, and installed gs/os onto the
mac's startup volume.

the closest i can get this to work is to boot the gs from the 'network
3.5 disk'. i then get
a launcher window, select disk until the macintosh volume appears,
then i can 'run'
the finder from the mac. the finder loads on the gs with the mac
volume mounted, so i am
reasonably confident that the connection is working.

that's as far as i got. if i set the gs startup to appletalk, the gs
stays at the boot screen,
times out and starts from a floppy. a google search indicated that i
need 'appletalk
file server 3.0', but i haven't been able to locate this.

anyone have any ideas?

thanks,
