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

 I'm running an Apple IIGS, with GS/OS 5.02, on an AppleTalk LAN with a "II
 bootblocked" AppleShare server.

 Can I upgrade this network to AppleTalk Phase II?  I assume that if I do,
 my Apple IIGS computers will boot from a server in their own zone.  What if
 I want to have two servers in one physical zone? Where will the Apple IIGS
 computers boot from?

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

 AppleTalk Phase II has no effect on LocalTalk.  The enhancements that Phase II 
	provides are only for EtherNet and Token Ring

 There was an upgrade to the boot blocks for loading GS/OS on the server.
 This is included with GS/OS 5.02 on a new Apple II setup disk.

 The Apple IIGS will boot from the first server it finds.
