Keywords: File server  Networking APPLEIIgs


We are in the planning stages in designing a computer laboratory
which will house approximately 60 APPLE IIgs microcomputers.  For
various reasons, we wish to network these machines in order to 
allow students to run software kept on a hard disk at a central
location rather than having each user run from separate diskettes
at their stations.  Our problem is locating a file server which
will allow us to do this with APPLE IIgs's,[D.  Apparently there
are all sorts of neat little minicomputers that would do the job
for us if we were using MS-DOS machines, but we haven't been able
to get any information from anyone (APPLE says they are working on
it) on how to do this with our APPLES.  We have been told that
CORVB[D[DUS has a system that may do the job, but that it is a bear to
use and has the habit of crashing on a regular basis.

Is there any [Done out there who can give us some information on this?
Please reply by E-mail and I will gladly summarize any information
for those who may be interested.

Many thanks, in advance!
