Actually, I don't think this is true even though network people
say you should have the same version of the system on all Macs
attached to a network.

I have a TOPS network with a II, an SE, and two pluses. The SE
and one of the pluses do not have hard disks. There wasn't room
for 6.0.2 and TOPS on their boot disks. I had already installed
6.0.2 on the other two machines and wasn't looking forward to
undoing all that work.

So I installed the same (and newest) laserprinter driver on
all machines but left two different versions of the system.
I've been using it for months and haven't found any problems
with the network (I've run programs and moved files across
the network without difficulty).
