Hello there.
My question today concerns Appleshare PC and file-sharing with a Mac IIcx
running system 7.0.
Until know, this mac communicated with an IBM computer via TOPS, which
worked quite well. It was a very small distributed server network (just these
two computers), and it worked quite well. TOPS also took care of printing from
the IBM to an Apple Laserwriter.
Once I moved the cx to 7.0, TOPS died a dog's death. Sitka (maker of TOPS)
says it will be 3+ months before a new version is ready.
So.....
will appleshare PC running on the IBM be able to connect to a "shared"
folder on the mac? Is there a new version of Appleshare PC coming out? How
well does it print? etc...
I understand that a 6.0.x mac can connect to a 7.0 mac, is this similar
to the Appleshare PC question?
Is anyone still reading? I would appreciate any and all responses, and
would be willing to summarize if desired.
Thanks very much,
RAFST3@vms.cis.pitt.edu
