I got this to work once, when booting the IIe from an appleshare 3.0
server. I have not been able to make it work booting Prodos 2.03 with
the ATINIT file loaded. It never finds the network. I've been a bit
mystified as to the problem. (The appleshare 3 machine has died, so I
was hoping to connect to a Pmac 7500, which is running Localtalk
Bridge.)

The GS on the same localtalk network sees the Pmac just fine.
