 TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------

 I have been having problems adding Apple IIGS systems to an AppleShare
 network under Apple IIGS System Software Update Version 5.0.  Can you give me
 some help?

 DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------

 The following information applies to Apple IIGS System Software Version 5.0
 and later.

 Because of recent rapid development of the Apple IIGS operating system,
 setting up an AppleShare network with IIGS systems can be confusing.  For
 example, the Apple II Setup disk included with AppleShare Version 2.0.1, a
 Macintosh disk designed to install Apple II features onto the Macintosh file
 server, is now obsolete.  You should use the Apple II Setup disk that comes
 with the Apple IIGS System Software Update Version 5.0 and later.  If you do
 the AppleShare installation with the obsolete Apple II Setup disk from
 AppleShare Version 2.0.1, you get the following error message when you try to
 start an Apple IIGS over the network:

 Cannot load (servername) /SYSTEM/SYSTEM.SETUP/CDev.Init.

 To add IIGS systems to an AppleShare network properly under Version 5.0, you
 must buy the Apple IIGS System Software Update Version 5.0 or later. The
 update package includes the Apple II Setup disk and the manual "AppleTalk
 Network User's Guide for the Apple IIGS."

 Setting up AppleShare on the Macintosh Server
 ---------------------------------------------
 Follow the steps below to set up AppleShare, so that IIGS systems start over
 the network.

   1) Start up with the System Tools disk and run Apple HD SC Setup.

   2) Initialize the server hard disk.

   3) Name the hard disk using an Apple II convention; for example, "A2."
   (The shorter the name, the better.)

   4) Install the Macintosh System Software on the server, making sure to
        use the latest version possible for your Macintosh computer.

   5) Restart with the AppleShare Version 2.0.1 Server Installer disk.
   Install "AppleShare 2.0.1 Server" onto the server volume.  Be sure you
   don't click any of the Macintosh-family installation scripts, because
   they will install old system software, overwriting the system software
   you just installed.

   6) Restart from the AppleShare Server Admin disk and launch the Server
   Admin application.

   7) Enter the administrator's key and password, name your server, and
   create the users and groups you need.

   8) Choose Volume List from the Volumes menu and double-click the
   server volume. A dialog box allows you to set access privileges.  Click
   all boxes and save enclosed folders.

   9) Quit the Server Admin application and restart the Macintosh server
   from the Apple II Admin disk that came with the Apple IIGS System
   Software Update Version 5.0.

   10) Launch the Installer program on the Apple II Admin disk, and
   install "Apple II Info" on the server volume; then quit.

   11) Restart from the Server Admin disk and launch the Server Admin
   application.

   12) From the Server menu, choose Server Info and click the Apple II
   feature. Then, click Save.

   13) Choose Volume List from the Volumes menu and double-click the
   server volume.  A dialog box allows you to set access privileges.
   Click all boxes and save enclosed folders.

   14) Quit the Server Admin application and restart the server.  Keep
   the server on-line while you perform the steps for the Apple IIGS.

 Setting up AppleShare on the Apple IIGS
 ---------------------------------------
 Follow the steps below to set up AppleShare on the IIGS systems:

   1) Start up with the System.Disk that came with the Apple IIGS System
   Software Update Version 5.0, and format a blank 3.5-inch disk.

   2) Launch the System 5.0 Installer on the System.Tools disk.

   3) In the Installer, select "AppleShare on 3.5 Disk" and install it on
   the formatted disk.  (You'll have to do some disk swapping.)

   4) Shut down the IIGS and restart from the AppleShare 3.5 disk you
   just created.

   5) Enter the administrator's name (usually "Administrator") and
   password.  On the Graphic Control Panel under the Apple menu, click the
   AppleShare icon and mount the server volume.

   6) Launch the Installer program on the IIGS System.Tools disk.

   7) Using the Command key (Open Apple), select the following scripts:      * Latest Sys. Files (No Finder)
      * Server Network Startup
      * Server Quick Logoff
      * Optional scripts  (Install the scripts that the IIGS systems
        starting up over the network will require; for example, the
        SCSI driver, 5.25 driver, LaserWriter printer, or AppleTalk
        printer.)

   8) Install the selected scripts on the server volume.  The system
   installs over the network, and the double-arrow icon at the top left of
   your screen flashes. You may have to do some disk swapping, and the
   installation may take a fair amount of time.

   9) Once the installation is complete, quit and shut off the IIGS.

   10) Shut down the file server and restart it from the Server Admin
   disk.

   11) Launch the Server Admin application.

   12) Select all users, or all Apple IIGS users who you want to be able
   to start up over the network.

   13) Under the Apple II menu, choose Set Startup, and designate
   "Finder" as the startup application.  (It will be located at
   /servername/System/Finder.)

   14) When you're prompted for a response, allow the system to set the
   prefix automatically.

   15) If the users you selected will be using a network printer, select
   Set Printer.

   16) Choose Volume List from the Volumes menu and double-click the
   server volume.  A dialog box allows you to set access privileges.
   Click all boxes and save enclosed folders.

   17) Quit the Server Admin program and restart the file server.

   18) On the IIGS units that you want to start up over the network,
   reset the startup slot from the Control Panel.  Systems with ROM 01
   should have the printer port set to "Your Card," Slot 7 set to
   "Built-in AppleTalk," and the startup slot set to "7."   Systems with
   ROM 03 should have the printer port set to "Built-in AppleTalk," Slot 7
   set to "Built-in AppleTalk," and the startup slot set to "AppleTalk."

   (Note: If you have the newer model Apple IIGS with 1MB of RAM on the
   logic board, set Slot 7 to AppleTalk and EITHER slot 1 or slot 2 to
   AppleTalk.)

   19) Restart the Apple IIGS.  It now boots over the network and prompts
   you to enter a user name and password.  Once you enter the name and
   password, the "progress thermometer" appears, and then you see the
   Apple IIGS System 5.0 desktop with the server volume icon at the top
   right.
