Hutzelman) Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple2 Subject: Re: Appletalk and Apple II c and e Message-ID: Date: 5 Oct 90 16:53:18 GMT References: Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 18 In-Reply-To: The Apple //e can indeed support AppleTalk, with a card you can get from Apple Computer, Inc. Depending on which model //c's you have, they may have some preliminary AppleTalk support built in, but I don't think Apple ever got around to actually implementing it; I hope someone can prove me wrong. Otherwise, there's not much you can do with the //c's; they're closed machines. And YES, an AppleShare server CAN be set up to support this setup. However, the server itself must run on a Mac. There is no AppleShare server software that will run on a II (yet :). I don't know if this is possible with the Apple // Workstation card (the AppleTalk card), but on a IIgs, which has AppleTalk built it, you can even boot from a server if it's set up for it. WITHOUT a disk drive. No existing Mac can do that!! ----------------- Jeffrey Hutzelman America Online: JeffreyH11 Internet/BITNET:jh4o+@andrew.cmu.edu, jhutz@drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu >> Apple // Forever!!! <<
