I didn't need to get anything extra for mine, but I'm not starting up over
a network. Flipping through the System 6 user manual, I guess it's possible.
Does Appleshare 3 run on the Mac side or the GS side ?

A GS without a 3.5 is naked !, get ONE at the very least. I have 7 on 5
Apples, one has a broken eject gear, but is usable via manual eject. One is
a Unidisk 3.5, another is the AMR 3.5 which is rather iffy. Sorry none for
sale, I had to get some of mine from the States, so postage was a bit hexxy.
Although if you want to trade a IIe WS card for a 3.5 drive, I may be
interested :) Fat chance hey !!!
Still offering to scan those doz. pages if you want to read the options on
the HDD and 3.5. Sorry, I don't have any info on the IIe workstation card.

Oh yea, I don't think you need the HFS.FST like I said before, but I havn't
tried it so I'm not too sure. Someone else here may know.

best of luck,

Mark
