Announcing the Sweet16 Starter Kit

Comprising a pre-installed disk image, and a PDF set of instructions,
you only need to add a copy of Sweet16, and your favourite IIgs ROM
image, and you are ready to go.

The disk image comes with System 6.0.2 installed, as well as Marinetti
3.0.1 installed and working. You are ready to get online from your Mac
with a single click.

Included on the disk image are some useful utility programs, as well as
working copies of SAM2, SNAP, and SAFE2.

With a simple configuration of SAFE2, you can connect directly into your
Mac using FTP, and copy files into and out of the IIgs environment with
ease.

Also released today are updates to SAM2 2.0.4, and SNAP 1.1.4.

All these, and more, are available from my website:

Fantastic! I double-clicked on it in GSport, and (after a little tweaking) it runs fine with the Uthernet link layer driver. I just need to enable the Uthernet in GSport slot 3, swap the Uthernet link layer driver from Boot.Disk:Marinetti:Link.Layers into System:TCPIP for the Sweet16 that was there, do the configuration steps in the control panel, and I was in.

Two things I needed to do that seem special:

I did need to do the initial boot with the shift key pressed - I imagine that was because the Sweet16 LL driver was confusing it.

On boot, it says something to the effect that Finder needs system 6.0.1 or later and at least 300K of free memory to run. Then it dumps me into the program launcher, from which I can launch System:Finder! It seems to happen no matter how much memory I dedicate to the ram disk or offer the system at boot time.

The manual setup info is already on the GSport page here:
http://gsport.sourceforge.net/ethernet.html

Ewen, if that boot problem get sorted out - would you be interested in posting a version tuned to GSport?
