Jeff, not a good suggestion for John :-)  He is trying to get Appletalk
working, not removed.

I have used Appletalk on my GS (system 6.0.1, Rom1, ZipGS8/64, 4Meg RamGS,
HS scsi, Superdrive & controller) with an Appletalk network (printers,
Appleshare 3.0 server, and personal file-sharing on Mac system 7.x) without
problems.  System is stable, 7d/wk, 24h/d.  Only problem is some possible
character loss with PT3.1 or Spectrum during z-modem downloads.  (But my
Mac LC III is even worse with character loss!).  So John should be able
to get a reliable system running with Appletalk.

Please list the known problems with Appletalk on a IIGS.  I am not familiar
with them.  I'll list a few concerns:

  1)  Net-work booting off a Appleshare 3.0x server is S..L..O..W..!

  2)  More interrupts - software used must be interrupt friendly.

  3)  PT3.1 works with Appletalk on a GS, but does not work for file-access
      on a IIE. :-(  PT3.1 works on a Appletalk IIe as long as one does
      NOT access the network.

  4)  Perhaps an accelerator may be recommended  (I've never tried without one).

  more...?
