RE:AppleTalk GS to Mac filesharing?



Commenting on Randy Shackelf...
"The next thing I'd suggest is putting the the hard disk in slot 6.
How often do you actually use 5.25 disks and the hard disk at the
same time?"
 
That's what I considered with my two Apple IIgs systems.  In one, I have a 
standard RAM card in slot 6, creating a 1 meg RAMDisk I call (what else) 
/RAM6.  In the other, I have a SCSI card for a hard drive in slot 6.  
Although I have 5.25" floppy drives on both systems, I rarely use them.  
When I do need them, I simply make the appropriate change in the control 
panel and do without either the /RAM6 or the SCSI hard drive.  On the IIgs 
with the SCSI card in slot 6, I also have an old Sider ][ hard drive card in 
slot 2, so am still not working hard driveless.
 
Sure could use more slots.  Slot 7 is needed for Appletalk in my needs.  
Guess I could use slot 4 if I didn't need a mouse...
 
By the way, I discovered if you place an old Disk ][ controller card in any 
slot below 5, it won't work unless you set the Control Panel speed to 
"Normal."
