Hello all you specialists out there... I got a question conc. the Apple IIGS and AppleTalk. Since I'm the lucky owner of 2 IIGSs I'd be interested to know if there's a way to connect them both via AppleTalk together. Thanx in advance, Christian "KRS" Karpp FHT Mannheim, FRG

The answer is yse, but unless you plan to network them to a printer or some kind of server, there isn't much point. No one that I know of has invented point to point file transfer over Appletalk between IIgs's. --Rick

You can hook up two or more IIGS's together to share one or more printers but nothing else. The GS's can't communicate with each other if that's what you wanted to do. And of course, the printers must have Appletalk installed. proline: pro-novapple!daveharv | uucp: crash!pnet01!pro-novapple!daveharv | Pro-novapple BBS arpa: crash!pnet01!pro-novapple!daveharv@nosc.mil | 300/1200/2400/9600 Baud Internet: daveharv@pro-novapple.cts.com | 703-671-0416 | Northern Virginia Apple Users Group | P.O.

GSs *can* talk to each other, but there isn't much software around taking advantage of it. The only one I can think of offhand was a preliminary version of a "Chat" CDA that let any number of GSs talk to each other over AppleTalk. -- David A.

The only one I can think of offhand was a preliminary I believe that the GS version of Rescue Raiders ("Armor Alley") will work via AppleTalk. I have no information when (or whether) it will be out, but it was contracted to one of the 'well known' GS software makers...
