I have an SE running Singleshare with a Plus as client.  I am using
INITShare to keep INIT/cdevs on the file server.  We have a 400K drive
on the Plus which I am using as a boot disk to keep the 800K internal
drive free.  We I have an Imagewriter I which I want to connect
directly to the Plus (i.e. not on Appletalk).  The problem is that
there is not enough room on the 400K drive for the printer driver.  I
tried to put the driver into the shared folder on the server, and
INITShare failed to work (even though the server mounted correctly).
When I remove the driver, the problem goes away.

Is there any way to 'share' (in this limited sense) a driver?  (The
two machines will not really be sharing it, since only one will ever
use it.)

Any ideas appreciated.

[Yes I know that an 800K drive would solve the problem.  Anyone want
to sell me a used one REAL cheap?]
