Could someone please mail to me possible sources for NFS for a MAC II,
and suggestions for ethernet cards. Thanks in advance.

I had heard that CITI had a version that ran on the Mac, but I believe that it was funded by Apple and is not in the public domain. Apple has the right to commercially ship that version or a version based on CITI code (again, I am not totally sure of these facts, so if someone knows different please jump in). Apple, however, has not made any announcments that say they are going to ship it in the near future. I would think that they do have plans on shipping a version sometime in the near future. At least I hope so, we have been holding off on doing something like this because we don't want to get caught putting time into something that Apple is going to end up supplying for low $$. Hope that answers you question about NFS. -- Kurt Baumann InterCon Systems Corporation 46950 Community Plaza Suite 101-132 Sterling, VA 22170 Phone: 703.450.7117 FAX: 703.437.3454 AppleLink: D1988 Email: kdb@intercon.uucp

At least I hope so, we have been holding This is correct. I did a story on NFS for a magazine called MIPS, and in the process interviewed the people at CITI. (The story's coming out in a month or so.) The CITI people (whose names escape me, but they're on the net) said that Apple had funded their work and had the rights to it, and that they didn't know of any other sources for NFS code for Apple. As recently as a month or six weeks ago, NFS was supposed to be announced on June 12 with all the other Apple products. Under nondisclosure, I was briefed by Apple on May 3 or so. (My nondisclosure ended on June 12.) About a week afterward, they called and said the product would not be released on June 12 after all. I was not able to get an official reason why it was being pulled, or any indication of if or when it might be released after all. It's a cool product. It includes an implementation of TCP/IP and an NFS client with a typical Mac interface. -- "Why should I let a loathsome little toad like you touch my breast when you haven't even read my books!"

At this time the GatorBox does not support DecNET routing. We are very interested in putting in this functionality, however I cannot give you an approximate release date. -- Chris North chris@cayman.COM Cayman Systems 26 Landsdowne Street Cambridge MA 02139 617-494-1999

Hello all, Since the name of Cayman Gator box has been mentioned in this discussion, I'd like to post a question about it. Can we do mount, from a Mac connected to ethernet via GatorBox, to VMS host running FUSION nfs server? Is there anyone out who succeeded in this task? Thanx, benzi

citi's nfs for the mac was developed by staff programmers tom unger, tim endres, and steve fram. tom did most of the design work and led the programming team. omar juma and chuck jerian also made significant technical contributions. i managed the effort (not well), wrote reports (late), and helped with the design and implementation (a little). peter
