Steve,
I am looking for a layman's technical explanation why a IIGS can not
connect to a Mac running OSX using the AppleShare control panel. I
accept that it doesn't work, but I don't have a good idea why not.
If the object of the exercise is simply to connect to a Mac running OSX
and transfer files, then as you have an Uthernet card, installing
Marinetti, and then running SAFE2 will give you full FTP access to all
the machines on your network.
If you connect to their IP Address, then you will be able to see each
computer, navigate its folders, and transfer files both ways.

Thanks! I have done this and it works, but ... Safe2/FTP doesn't
preserve file attributes like ftype or dates etc. Networking via
Appleshare does, so this is my preferred method. I do it in the two-
step method via OS9 intermediate. I was trying to learn why the 1-
step method (GSOS-OSX) doesn't work. David Empson has explained it
very well. Thanks David!
Safe2 and ftp are a good alternative and is the reason I got the
uthernet card. I just haven't much use for it yet. I guess I want
Ethershare - the Appleshare equivalent over ethernet instead of
localtalk. But that dream may never come true ;-)
