- Actually, don't you need AppleShare 3.x to actually BOOT the GS over the
- network? Personal File Sharing with System 7.1, I think, doesn't allow GS
- Booting--there's nowhere to store the code.
-
- But I do agree- a hard drive with the GS is necessary. With a 3.5" 800K boot
- disk for the GS to access the Mac's hard disk, there's no room for the Finder,
- so everything on the GS is run through the System 6 Launcher-no place to do
- file manipulation except from the Mac desktop.
