You need slot 7 set to appletalk
in the control panel.

You need the drivers installed on
the IIgs.

You need the correct version
of appletalk installed on Macintrash
computer.

012- How can I use a Mac as a network server with my GS?

     In order to use the Mac as a server with a useable system folder
you will
have to have AppleShare version 3 running on the Mac. It sounds like
you are
wanting to use a local boot disk on the GS and then log on to the Mac
to use
tha Mac hard drive. This will work with file sharing active on the Mac.
The
disk you need to make for the GS is a Network: Local Startup and not a
Network:
Server Startup disk. When booting from this disk you will be able to
log on to
the Mac and will be left in the program launcher. There is not enough
room on a
800k disk for the finder along with the network files. I believe that
you will
also need to add the HSF FST to your statup boot disk also because it
is not
put there in the default install. Check in the drivers folder to be
sure.

     On the Mac set up a folder for the GS to use and turn on file
sharing. On
the GS, from the launcher get into the finder on your system disk and
then copy
the finder to the new folder on the Mac. Now you should be able to
reboot the
GS and after logging on the Mac, from the launcher, run the finder on
the Mac
hard drive. You will now return to the Mac hard drive when you quit
your GS
applications. You can put both applications and data files on the Mac
and run
them from there just like it was a drive attached to the GS. The speed
in about
the same as running from a 3 1/2 floppy, maybe a little faster. You are
limited
in what you can put in your system because of the 800k disk but having
the
finder on the Mac really helps.

     If you can find a copy of AppleShare version 3 then you can boot
directly
from the Mac without any disk on the GS and the system size can be
whatever the 
memory in the GS can handle.
