AppleTalk Remote Access: How to Copy It to an 800K System



I have a PowerBook 140, with AppleTalk Remote Access. I want to use this
copy of Remote Access (on 1.4MB diskette) in my Macintosh SE, which has
800K diskettes. How can I get a copy of Remote Access on 800K diskettes if
I have a version on 1.4MB diskettes? Do I have to buy a copy?


The license accompanying AppleTalk Remote Access allows a single user to
make up to three copies of the AppleTalk Remote Access software for use on
Apple computers they own and/or operate.  You don't need to purchase
another copy for your Macintosh SE.

To get a copy of the software for your Macintosh SE, (800K, two disks) we
recommend the following:

- Get a copy from your dealer.

- Copy the software to your PowerBook 140 and then do a "Live Install" on
 your Macintosh SE, over the network.  The procedure below assumes you
 have an AppleTalk network in place between the PowerBook 140 and
 Macintosh SE, either with LocalTalk cabling, PhoneNet cabling, or
 serial cable (not supported by Apple).

 1) Insert the AppleTalk Remote Access 1.4MB floppy into the PowerBook.

 2) Drag the Floppy Disk icon on top of the Hard Disk icon.  This creates
    a folder on the PowerBook 140 called "Installer" with all of the
    AppleTalk Remote Access software within.

 3) Open the Installer folder.

 4) Rename the application inside from "Installer" to "Install".


 5) Drag the files "Install" and "Remote Access Script" out of the
    Installer folder, to the root level of the hard disk (not the
    desktop).

 6) Turn on File Sharing on the PowerBook.

 7) From the Macintosh SE, use the Chooser to connect to the Macintosh
    PowerBook server.  Sign on as the PowerBook owner.  This gives
    you access to the entire PowerBook hard drive (that is, the PowerBook
    hard drive icon will appear on the Macintosh SE desktop).

 8) From the Macintosh SE, open the PowerBook hard drive icon.

 9) From the Macintosh SE, you should be able to see the "Install"
    application.  Double click on it.
