RE:AppleTalk GS to Mac filesharing?



You can "see" the Mac from the Apple IIgs when AppleTalk is set up correctly 
on both, but you can't see the IIgs from the Mac.  It doesn't really matter 
if you just want to transfer files between the two.  You do all your work 
sittling at the IIgs - copy IIgs files by dragging to the Mac networked 
volume (or hard drive), and copy Mac volumes from the networked volume by 
dragging images to your Apple IIgs drive(s).
 
Of course, Apple had great wisdom in designing AppleTalk so that Macs were 
used for what they were intended for: dumb file servers.  They didn't think 
anyone would want to make an Apple IIgs as a file server.  It's too good for 
that, and is intended as a productivity machine.
 
If AppleTalk is installed properly on your IIgs, then you should be able to 
select it from Control Panels under the Apple menu, and open up your Mac 
hard drive(s).
