Here is my problem. I am not a GS owner (I have always wanted one) and now I am suddenly doing some suppourt work here with some GS's. The math dept here has about a dozen rom 1 WOZ edition GS machines. Many have 1 meg a few only have 512k. They sent a machine over here to my office to work with but i dont have the manuals. HOW CAN I GET THE THING TO APPLETALK? I dloaded the latest system off ftp.apple.com (some of them are still using 4.0) and made me a new tools and system disk (I used my //c to do this) and it will start up just fine. I tried to use the installer to make me a new system disk and intall appleshare and it seems to be ok. When I rebooted iot said I must enable Appletalk on the control panel. HOW? When I installed appleshare on a 3.5 disk i didnt have all the control panels, and when I hit control-OA-esc to get to the control panel i see no way to turn on Appletalk. PLEASE HELP! I am in a hurry I only have a few days to work on this project as I have many other things in the works and I REALLY would like to set these people up nice so to maybe show off the apple //'s a little. Oh yeah, When I turn on this system I was VERY suprised that it had a transwarp in it. Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ B.

From the control panel, simply select the Slots menu and change Slot 7 from "Your Card" to "Built-in AppleTalk". A message will appear stating that you cannot use a printer, modem, and AppleTalk at the same time. This is because AppleTalk must be connected to one of either your Printer or Modem ports. Just change either Slot 1 or 2 to "Your Card" and AppleTalk will activate. Remember, this is for the ROM 01 GS. I am not positive that this works on the Woz machine... Hope this helps... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L. Hood "WARNING: MOS circuits are subject to damage from static discharge!"

You will need to set Slot 1 or Slot 2 to "Your Card", depending on where you have AppleTalk connected to the IIgs. You must also set slot 7 to "AppleTalk" (as opposed to "Your Card"). The IIgs must have at least 768k to run on AppleTalk (preferably more), so you might have problems with those 512k machines. > Oh yeah, When I turn on this system I was VERY suprised that it had a > transwarp in it. That may also cause problems. The ZIPGS provides a facility to slow down the computer slightly to allow AppleTalk to work properly (probably causes timing problems if the computer is running too fast). There may be a similar option for the TransWarp. If nothing else works, try disabling it completely. David Empson David.Empson@bbs.actrix.gen.nz -- David.Empson@bbs.actrix.gen.nz

That's the one thing I dislike about my Zip- enough that I might send it back (NOT- and pay $150 more for a transwarp?!?). Anyway, the Zip has other benefits that make me want to keep it over a Transwarp. But to once again make my point, the Transwarp is fully compatible with AppleTalk, no speed reduction necessary. -- Jawaid Bazyar | "Twenty seven faces- with their eyes turned to Graduated!/Comp Engineering | the sky.
