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

 I want to connect a Macintosh II and an Apple IIe to an ImageWriter II over
 AppleTalk.

 A Workstation card was installed in the Apple IIe, the necessary LocalTalk
 cables were used, SW-4 was switched for AppleTalk, and AppleTalk was
 selected in the Chooser.  This did not work.

 I then installed AppleShare into the Macintosh II.  The Macintosh now
 prints, but the Apple IIe does not.  Instead, it gives the message "No boot
 server -- trying other slots".

 What am I doing wrong?

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

 The Workstation card must be installed in a higher-numbered slot than the
 disk interface card, otherwise the Apple IIe will try to start up over the
 network.

 * If you WANT the Apple IIe to start up over the network, you must also
  install the Apple II Setup on the Macintosh II file server.  This is a
  separate disk (AppleShare File Server Apple II Setup Disk).  You would
  also need to copy Chooser.II to the server.

 * If you DON'T want the Apple IIe to start up from the server, but
  rather to print to the ImageWriter II, then move the workstation card to
  a lower-numbered slot than the disk interface card and boot your
  workstation disk and run Chooser.II.

 One other problem might be that you are running Chooser.II, getting a
 connection, and then inserting your application disk and restarting.  This
 doesn't work.  You have to run Chooser.II from the application disk or
 launch the application by pathname after running Chooser.II from the
 workstation disk.
