Go back onto the Mac, copy all the files from the disk into an empty
folder, reformat the disk as ProDOS from the Finder, and copy the files
back.

ROM 01 models need to have more RAM added in order to be able to use
System 6.0.1. System 6.0.1 needs to have at least 1MB.
To set up an AppleShare server on the Mac with Apple II boot support, you
will need to get AppleShare 2 or 3. AppleShare 2 runs on System 6 and
claims your system whole, and is available at:
http://home.wanadoo.nl/ruud.dingemans/html/system6.html
AppleShare 3 runs on System 7 or later, and doesn't take up the whole
system. It is not available on the Internet legally, since it's still
commercial software. If you really want it, it is on an FTP server
somewhere...
You need to install the server software and the Apple II Setup files (find
those through the Custom Install option). When it is installed, set up the
server and create a user name for the IIgs. Copy all the IIgs files over
to the hard drive (root level), turn on the Apple II boot support (in
AppleShare Admin), and connect the IIgs and the Mac together. Set up the
IIgs (a ROM 01 would need slots 1/2, 7, and Startup set the AppleTalk),
and turn it on.
I would like to see all this information added to the FAQ.
