If your Macintosh LC is connected to a file server over a network, you
can use it just as you did with your original Apple IIe: you can start
up from the file server and access files on it, as the next two sections
explain. Note, however, that you cannot start up from a private
Macintosh computer, even if it is sharing its files. (File sharing is a
new feature in version 7 of Macintosh system software.)

With your Apple IIe computer, you could start up from a file server.
When you’re in the Apple IIe environment, you can do the same with
your Macintosh LC and your Apple IIe Card. In fact, the method is
the same as before.

Before you begin, make sure the following preparations have been made:

Your network administrator, the person who installs and maintains
your network and your file server, has connected everyone to the
network and prepared the file server as described in the instructions
that come with the AppleShare Workstation Card and the AppleShare
File Server server software.

You have used the Option Panel to install the AppleShare card into
one of the slots, as explained in Chapter 4, “Setting Up Cards and
Slots.”

You have set the startup device either to Scan or to the slot in which
the AppleShare card is installed. The AppleShare card is usually
installed in slot 7.
