Lines: 15 Kevin I had that thought when Apple II support was introduced about a year ago. My understanding of the technical realities are as follows: Apple II support is NOT part of the AFP protocols and therefore is not supported by ANY third party AFP compatible servers. This includes the IBM servers, Vax and Sun servers and dedicated HD boxes. Apple II support is an ADDED FEATURE of Apple's AppleShare 2.01 software and is only feasable with a Macintosh as a server. I would love to be proved wrong on this, but I believe it accurately reflects the current state of the art. Seymour Joseph
