Isn't there some limit on the OS version that AppleShare 3.0 will run on,
and less than OS9 ? maybe that caused the problem.

sorry if this is getting off topic, but how do you mean that the Mac is a
Print Server ?
why I ask is that I use a LW Select 360 (via LocalTalk) and IWII (with the
Local Talk kit fitted), and both work from the GS with my Mac or any other
computer on the network switched off. I do have one Mac running LocalTalk
Bridge so that it can get through to the PC (running PCMacLan) on Ethernet,
but that isn't needed to Print. PCMacLan allows the PC to share folders as
if they were AppleShare folders on a Mac. Does your Mac have a non-LocalTalk
printer ?

I have never tried to set up AppleTalk booting on a Mac for any of my GS's
yet, but maybe soon I'll have a go at setting it up. As far as booting off
the PC (via LocalTalk Bridge), I don't think that is possible is it ? or
does the GS just need an AppleShare Volume ?
