My mistake. I confused the slot 7 setting with the "Startup" setting.

Apparently not with GS/OS System 6.0.1.  I've done clean installs, and so
have other people, and it doesn't work.
 I haven't been able to find an earlier version that includes the Appletalk
files.  I'm about to try installing Appleshare 2.0 to see if that works, but
I'm thinking that David Empson's suggestion about using an earlier GS/OS is
the way to get it to work. Perhaps something is missing from the 6.0.1
install that the ROM 3 has in ROM, but which the ROM 1 lacks.

I found a 5.0.4 boot disk image on the net, but it doesn't include the
Appletalk files. I also have 4.0 disks, but they seem to only support
network printing.

Perhaps someone would be kind enough to put some of the earlier OS's on the
net.
