If you have a Mac running AppleShare Server v2 or v3 you can boot your //e
from the server. I have a //e here in my office that boots from a Mac IIsi
running AppleShare Server v3. My //e has no HD and I only plugged the DuoDisk
into it to allow me to copy some files.

Even if you do not boot your //w from the Mac, provided you have the correct
ATINIT file (and run the a2 chooser program to select your Mac file server)
you will be able to see the shared volumes from the Mac (provided
the files & directory names don't have illegal chars for ProDOS).
