A teacher in the local school system contacted us. He is trying
to set up a bunch of IIgs diskless workstations; they are
supposed to be able to boot off of a Mac SE/30 as a server.
A search of our Apple "Information Source" CD shows that this
is possible; unfortunately, the various problems listed do not
seem to be the cause of his troubles.
What happens is this:
Starts everything up
IIgs stations begin blipping messages onto their screens
time goes by
each IIgs halts with a complaint that it is looking for
an AFP file server.
Any clues? I'm not familiar with the IIgs, but will be happy to
try and pass on tips to him; he has no Usenet access.
Thanks in advancemattd@Apple.COM (Matt Deatherage) (09/07/90)

For Apple's server software, you have to have AppleShare 2.0 or later (preferably 2.0.1, the current release). -- ============================================================================ Matt Deatherage, Apple Computer, Inc. | "The opinions represented here are Developer Technical Support, Apple II | not necessarily those of Apple Group.
