ROM 01 GS diskless boot to Appleshare. YES IT WORKS!!!

["Petar Puskarich" <ppuskari@hotmail.comm>]

Hey I just caught this line and must admit that it is not entirely accurate.
I can state this because I have 2 GS Rom 01's in my basement lab that boot
this way all the time.  I have a Quadra 605 setup with Appleshare 2.03 I
think it is.  The 2.0x level was the last I am aware of to allow remote II
boots.  Perhaps 3.0 does but I haven't tried it.

At any rate, I have 4megs in each of the machines and use standard Appletalk
connectors and cabling to the mac.   Works like a charm.  Saves desk space
too.

I basically have about 6 GS's up and running with the various addon boards I
have collected throughout the years.  BUT the ROM 01 DEFINITELY BOOTS off
the Appleshare.

Hope this helps somebody, and email me if you would like more info on it.
Just drop the last m in comm
