Re: AppleTalk to Ethernet bridge software for Mac?

["william strutts" <wrstrutts1@home.com>]

Tell me how this works if you get it running.  I might have
to find parts to get my IIsi running if it does.  I have an
Assante Com 3 card that I believe is an ethernet card.
It looks like one anyway.  It has an RJ45 connector
and two light on it.  What I don't understand is that it
has another connector on the back of it. (like a port of
some sort)

How do you get the IIgs and the Mac to communicate
via Appletalk?  I don't have a hard drive on my IIgs.
Is it possible to create an appletalk boot disk on an
800k drive?  What do you need on the disk for it to
work?  Can the IIgs then boot from the mac over the
network?  Does the Mac need a seperate volume for
the IIgs to use?  Is there any FAQ's on getting this to
work somewhere?
