It doesn't.  I've seen it running with a 512 (not even 'E') running as the
central server.  Apple people _recommend_ this configuration (at least for
now) because as long as you're tying up a Mac it may as well be the cheapest
one.

Of course the disk on this net was an Apple HD20.  If you want to use a SCSI
disk I think you have to have a + (the 512's don't have SCSI ports (?)).
