I have AppleSharePC version 2.0X (X=?), and it seems to be working
fine on my machine, although I haven't really used it.  (I mostly use
the network stuff for TCP/IP.)  Some of the drivers I have are (minor)
bug-fixed versions from Farallon (which bought the entire AppleSharePC
operation from Apple something like a year ago).  What I suspect you
have problems with is REDIR.EXE, because a new version of it was
supplied on the Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 disks.  Check the booklet that
has the section on getting various things to work with DOS 5.0.

You could also try contacting Farallon.  They can receive e-mail at
farallon.com, though I don't know who you would send e-mail to.
They're supposed to be coming out with completely new software,
written from scratch, some time soon, which is certain to be an
improvement over this buggy code written at Apple for PC's.
