introducing A2SERVER again, this time with Pi

[Ivan X <ivan@ivanx.com>]

Hello world,

I'm happy to announce a major update to A2SERVER, which is an easy-to-use free file server and network boot host for Apple II computers. (Well, Apple IIgs computers, and Apple IIe computers with a Workstation Card.)

With the introduction of the Raspberry Pi, which A2SERVER now supports, I feel the Apple II platform finally has its perfect NAS drive.

Everything has been signficantly polished and improved, but the major bonuses are:

- supports Raspberry Pi; available as an ready-to-use operating system image file

- all the common bridges (Asante, Dayna, Farallon) now work reliably, even with the IIgs
   [many thanks to Steven Hirsch and Geoff Body for their contributions here]

- GS/OS can be downloaded and installed for network boot, without needing the disks

- you can set the GS/OS network boot default in ProDOS 8

- web site documentation has been reviewed, revised, and improved

A2SERVER is also available as a ready-to use virtual machine appliance, or as an installer script for Ubuntu Linux.

I hope you enjoy it! Feedback is invited.

Cheers,
Ivan.
