I have a bunch of Mac SE's with 2 floppy drives (non-superdrives). I also
have a Gatorbox to connect them to a TCP/IP network as well as to an
Appleshare server. Basically my plan was to have users boot off of a
system disk which I would provide, put their data disk in the other drive,
and all of the applications would be on the server.

So much for plans: 800K is *really* small. I have installed the minimal
system (System 6.0.5, Finder and the General, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard
cdev's), MacTCP to connect to the network, Appleshare, Responder, the
LaserWriter 6.0.1 driver and LaserPrep, an AppleTalk Imagewriter driver,
and the Disinfectant INIT (only 5k). Even with only Chooser, Control Panel
and Access Privileges, I only have room left for a few fonts. And, as
I have just found out, you can't switch launch to an Appleshare Volume.

Is there anything I can do to get more fonts, DAs or cdevs for these
Macs? I would really like to have all of the Laserwriter fonts somehow,
but I am slowly losing hope.

Despondently,
pr
