Correct. With Win2K, the situation is even worse because the only
LocalTalk card on Microsoft's Hardware Compatibility List is a
COPS/Daystar LT200 which is less readily available than other models.
Generally ISA adapters are deprecated for use with W2K server so the
easiest way to go is to use some sort of ethernet/LocalTalk bridge. 

I have been experimenting with a IIgs and various other LocalTalk-only
systems connected to W2K server via an SE/30 running LocalTalk Bridge
2.1 software. Systems tested so far:

Mac Plus, system 6.0.4 & 6.0.8 -- connects to server OK as user and
guest;

Mac 512, workstation 1.1 client -- server visible in Chooser but an
"incompatible AppleShare version" dialog is displayed on login;

IIgs, system 6.0.1 -- server is not visible in AppleShare control panel.

I hope that this is a configuration error on my part and I'll check
further at the weekend. In the meantime, can anyone tell me which
AppleShare versions are supported by the IIgs system.
