Apple System 7 Pro - Manual (Page 10)

While virtual memory is compatible with most Macintosh software products,
some applications and other software may need upgrading to take advantage of
virtual memory. Check with the program's manufacturer.
Is virtual memory compatible with CPU accelerator boards?
Some accelerator cards work or can be modified to work with virtual memory.
Check with the manufacturer. Accelerator cards for the Macintosh Plus, SE,
Classic, Portable, and LC computers do not work with virtual memory.
System 7 file sharing
How much memory does file sharing use?
File sharing uses approximately 260K of RAM when turned on.
Does file sharing work in a mixed environment of System 6 and System 7
computers?
Yes. Network users who do not upgrade to System 7 can access folders or disks
shared by System 7 users. However, they cannot share files stored on System 6
computers.
Can a Macintosh or PowerBook user share files with users of MS-DOS or Apple
II computers?
Yes. Users of AppleShare PC software on MS-DOS computers and AppleShare
workstation software on Apple II computers can access shared files on a
System 7 Macintosh or PowerBook.
Can the network administrator prevent the use of file sharing?
Yes. If you control the installation procedure, you can choose the
Installer's Customize option and omit file sharing from the items you select.
However, if the system software is installed with the Easy Install option,
file sharing will be included.
How can a user of file sharing control others' access to information?
Several kinds of control are available. Access to a user's Macintosh or
PowerBook is possible only if the user has turned file sharing on and has
selected folders to share. The user can grant access selectively to
individuals or groups. In addition, the File Sharing Monitor control panel
allows the user to keep track of the use of shared folders and to disconnect
users if desired.
Can I shut off guest access privileges?
In system software version 7.1 or later, guest access is off by default when
you turn on file sharing. (Guest access is on by default in system software
version 7.0.) To turn guest access on or off, open the Guest icon in the
Users & Groups control panel and click the checkbox labeled "Allow guests to
connect," to select or deselect the option. Even when guest access is on, you
can turn off guest access to individual items that you share. (For details,
see the Macintosh User's Guide.)
