If the software is AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) compatible, it should work
fine.  You won't be able to boot off the server but you can run programs
just fine under GS/OS 5.0 with AppleShare installed.  You will need to 
get a password on the server or log on as a guest.  Prodos 8 and GS/OS
programs should work fine.  As far as the gs knows the server is a hard drive
directly connected to the machine.  In fact you can even use the Mac naming 
conventions (spaces in file names etc.) on that disk.  You can use the finder
to copy files to the server.  It looks like a regular hard drive.
