Getting the ethernet card may be the hardest bit...

1. Install a suitable version of System 7.1 or 7.5

2. Install ethernet drivers if using a card that is not compatible with
Apple's drivers.

3. Install Network Software Installer 1.5.1 to update the AppleTalk
release. An alternative would be to install Open Transport 1.1.1 or
1.1.2.

4. Install LocalTalk Bridge 2.1. You will probably want to configure it
for Public access.

The above combination should work for most AppleShare clients and
servers. Should you manage to get it to work with a IIgs and Windows
2000 Service for Macintosh, let me know how!
