AppleShare: Installing on Macintosh IIfx/IIci



I'm about to install AppleShare on a Macintosh IIfx. I've heard that
AppleShare requires some 'patches' for the Macintosh IIfx. Is that true?

There's only one hitch to installing AppleShare on a Macintosh IIfx or
Macintosh IIci: You need to use the Network Products Installer diskette to
perform the actual installation, rather than the Installer that comes with
AppleShare.

The operating system version on the AppleShare Installer diskette is too
low to run on the Macintosh IIfx; the Installer on the NPI diskette is
6.0.5 (which will run), and it includes the necessary scripts to install
AppleShare File Server, Print Server, Internet Router, EtherTalk, and
TokenTalk.

You will still need to have the original File/Print Server (or whichever)
diskettes handy, as the NPI has only the scripts, not the actual programs.
