::The software on Apple's FTP site is all in Mac format (.HQX or MacBin).
::Modern Macs have a hard time creating GCR 800K disks (if they can at all).
::Apple has gone to the cheaper MFM-only drives which handle the 1.44MB disks
::well.
Think the SE/30 itself could handle it? If I downloaded the software to
another Mac and took the disks over to the SE/30, would it be able to do
the ProDOS transfer? It is old enough :-) I don't have DD disks here, but
I can get some.
::GS/OS v6 (the latest) needs more memory than just the 1MB Apple memory
::card. If your IIgs only has about 1MB then do not bother with GS/OS. The
::previous owner may have been using them as IIe's (ProDOS 8) as I do with my
::IIgs.
Can ProDOS speak AppleTalk? That's the main reason for my interest in
GS/OS. If ProDOS can access an AppleTalk server, then I don't really care
about GS/OS. How much memory does v6 require?
::I *think* that ASFS v2 can only run on System 6 while ASFS v3 can run on
::System 7. Both may take over the entire machine so using the Mac normally
::may be impossible. Make a backup before experimenting!
This is ASFS v2. Where can I get v3? (Yup, it does take over the whole
machine :-)
