No, not yet. I have to take it one step at a time here. I realized that the
IRQ that I had configured the board for was taken by my sound card.
Disabling COM2 and adjusting the DIP switches on the card have gotten things
working. I can run filesharing on a Mac and the PC can connect. However,
neither the mac nor the iigs could log on the the file server run by PC
maclan. Both see it, but when I tried to connect it gave me an invalid user
or the server is not accepting log ons message. I assume this is because I'm
running the trial version of PC maclan. If that's so, I will definitely
consider purchasing a copy. Then we'll give Marinetti a shot...
