Hi Bill,
I haven't done it myself as of yet, but others have blazed that trail for
us. Download Appleshare, you'll need it.

Here is an excerpt from the faq (Applications) to get you started:

012- How can I use a Mac as a network server with my GS?

     In order to use the Mac as a server with a useable system folder you
will have to have AppleShare version 3 running on the Mac. It sounds like
you are wanting to use a local boot disk on the GS and then log on to the
Mac to use tha Mac hard drive. This will work with file sharing active on
the Mac. The disk you need to make for the GS is a Network: Local Startup
and not a Network: Server Startup disk. When booting from this disk you will
be able to log on to the Mac and will be left in the program lau

ncher. There is not enough room on a 800k disk for the finder along with the
network files. I believe that you will also need to add the HSF FST to your
statup boot disk also because it is not put there in the default install.
Check in the drivers folder to be sure.

     On the Mac set up a folder for the GS to use and turn on file sharing.
On the GS, from the launcher get into the finder on your system disk and
then copy the finder to the new folder on the Mac. Now you should be able to
reboot the GS and after logging on the Mac, from the launcher, run the
finder on the Mac hard drive. You will now return to the Mac hard drive when
you quit your GS applications. You can put both applications and data files
on the Mac and run them from there just like it was a drive attached to the
GS. The speed in about the same as running from a 3 1/2 floppy, maybe a
little faster. You are limited in what you can put in your system because of
the 800k disk but having the finder on the Mac really helps.

     If you can find a copy of AppleShare version 3 then you can boot
directly from the Mac without any disk on the GS and the system size can be
whatever the memory in the GS can handle.
