- In order to _see_ shared volumes on AppleTalk, a Mac needs the AppleShare
- Chooser extension (which predates system 6, from memory).
-
- In order to _share_ volumes over AppleTalk, a Mac needs system 7's File
- Sharing feature. (Or AppleShare itself.)
-
- Therefore, the answer is "No" if you only want to move files from the Duo
- to the other Mac, but "Yes" if you want to move files back to the Duo.

- (Can you do this with a Duo?) Anyway, PowerBooks of any kind connected in
- this way should act just like Apple external hard drives, so you shouldn't
- need any fancy system version. (Of course, if the PowerBook's hard drive
- is using third-party driver software, things are probably trickier.)

- Andrew.
