Re: MAC <-> GS Appletalk

["TheDM" <thedm@sunflower.com>]

You've got everything you need :) All you need to do is turn it on.

1) You need to have mac os 7.1 or higher, [I think] in the mac control
panel, you go to the network icon and make apple talk {active}  then you
select a folder or drive or whatever and share it. [where this command is
depends on the version of MacOS.

2) On your GS. You need GS/0S 6.0.1 and at least 1.25megs ram. A hard drive
is best, but you can, [and I have} done it on floppy, but you gotta have two
floppys. You need to make sure you have no cards in slot 7 of your GS.
unless you have a Rom3.  Then you go into the Firmware control panel on your
GS, and enable appletalk on slot 7 and then make whatever you pulled out of
it active in it's slot. For example I had to put my SCSI card from 7 to slot
2. So then I make Slot 2 say "Your Card" and slot 7 appletalk.

Then you take a printer cable, like //c, or MacSe to Imagewriter II cable,
and hook it in the serial port on the GS, and the Appletalk port on the mac.

3) Then load up your GS/OS from your HD get out your install disk, and go to
Customize and load the appletalk software. OR for floppy, stick your install
disk in disk1 and boot, and go to customise and choose the option appletalk
client disk.

4) reboot, on the GS go into control panel, then Appleshare, and connect to
your Mac.  This is how I get stuff to and from my GS from the web, and
convert files from GS or A2 to the mac and even then to the PC.

The only drawback to this setup is that the GS can only be a client, it
can't publish a shared folder, so in fact your usinging your SE has a file
server.[even if it is peer to peer] from the GS's resepct it's a file server
