Re: ProDOS files copied to a OS X box



>You could maybe try setting up an Appleshare 3 (AFP2.2) server?

Marsha: Thanks for the Appleshare 2 or 3 server suggestion. and for the 
Appleshare CDEV!
 
I have done such before and was mainly in this exercise just tinkering with 
yet a different way to move things around my net.  Appleshare 2.0 lives on a 
SE/30 which is currently on the shelf.  I played with 3.0.3 for a time but the 
Quadra 950 it was living on died :(  
Right now I use a LC III running 7.1 for multiple purposes; 1 it is the 
Localtalk Bridge to and from the GS,  2 it is  accessable from a  Windows 98 
PC running COPSTALK.  This LCIII serves as a waystation for lonely files on 
their way to the computer of thier final destination. 

Note OS X is NOT addressable across a net from a PC running COPSTALK.   Since 
most of my downloading takes place on that 98 PC (sorry guys, but it really is 
faster), I was also looking for ways to get stuff to the OS X via Appletalk 
(or Copstalk which is after all merely an appletalk varriant).  
 
 I have yet another Mac on System 7.5.5 (A 575) in my shop that runs DAVE ver 
1.0 so I can copy stuff BACK to the PC from the Mac side.
 
 I should also mention that OS X is not accessable from a PC running the TOPS 
network protocol;  I run a 386 on a TOPS card, connected localtalk to a Mac 
running LT Bridge.  WHY?  Well it was there, and well, it was a challenge and 
well... it was there.. ;-)
