Re: Networking a IIGS

I would think a cheap Mac Server would be the easiest route.  I use a Quadra
700 though you could use an LC II or even a Classic II.

The key to network booting is having AppleShare 3.0 for your Mac server and
hopefully a ROM3 IIgs.  Paul Grammens was investigating getting a ROM1
working but I am not sure how that turned out.

I have a ROM1 and what I have to do is startup with a Network Boot Disk that
connects me to the Mac Server and then boots System 6.0.1 off of the server.
Kind of a kick-start disk if you will.

The Ruby FAQ is useful with respects to this as well.
