I have a IIgs and //e networked off a Linux box (running Netatalk). Works very well for mass file-copying, it's fast and the file dates are preserved properly. You'll need (at a minimum): - Ethernet <---> LocalTalk bridge. I use a Shiva FastPath 4, but there are dozens of models which are reported to work. Gator Box is one I've heard a lot about. - Apple //e + Apple Workstation card and/or - Apple IIgs (Rom 3 preferable) Server can be a Mac, in which case the necessary protocols are (or should be) there already. For Linux, you need appletalk support in the kernel and the very latest version of netatalk. For configuration info, read the docs. Then, read the docs. Finally, read the code <g>.
