My IIgs has a Ramfast and a hard drive, so booting off the network has
limited appeal.  My main goal is to store the contents of archives (Asimov,
etc.) on a hard disk or CDROM on a PC or a Mac and access those files from
the IIgs.

I finally have my IIgs up and running Appletalk over ethernet on a
Mac/PC/Linux network.

I found out that my ZipGS was misconfigured and I had a bad Appletalk cable.
I was using a phone cord with Farallon connectors and the phone cord only
had two wires, not the usual four.  That said, I never did figure out why I
was getting that "AppleTalk connection not found" error message.  It just
seemed to go away.

Thanks to everyone who offered their advice--its sweet now that its working.
