Re: Apple II workstation card

[Gary Gouriluk <gvgouril@shaw.ca>]

Thanks for your reply Steve.

I found PublishIt on asimov but it contains .po files, which I presume are
for emulators, so I can't find an ATINIT file on them.

Do you know if the ATINIT file you load from your server, would be the same
as the ATINIT file to boot from a 800K floppy?

I guess your Appleshare server provides different partitions for IIe's and
IIgs's to boot from???

If you can find your IIe ATINIT file, please e-mail me a copy, so I can give
it a try.

Or if anyone has the PublishIt disks, perhaps they could e-mail me that
ATINIT file?

Thank you,

Gary
