Macs and Apple IIgs' can share the same Appletalk network servers and
printers with no problems whatsoever.  In fact, we do it everyday.  All
you need on the Mac side is System software 6.0.2 or above with any
Mac Plus or better.  On the GS side, you need an Apple IIgs with at least
768K of memory, rev 01 ROMs or above, and System Software 5.0.  For
networking, any Appletalk Imagewriter or Laserwriter will do, and
for Appleshare, you need a version 2.0 server or compatible.  NO
PARTITIONING NECESSARY!  System 5.0 on the GS will allow it to use the long
Appleshare file names and pathnames that the Mac does with no problem.
And both machines print properly to any networked printer...even the Print
Server software works on both machines.  And finally, to hook all
these guys up, you need Apple's localtalk cabling or Farallon's Phonenet
cabling, and you have yourself a mixed network or Apple products!
