Q: Legacy networking with appleshare

I have a mac 512k, a lc475, an ibook g3 (clamshell), and a g3 blue and white power mac. I want to hook them up with appleshare, but I don't know where I can find a copy of appleshare, or which version I should use. The ibook and g3 run os 9, the lc runs 7.5.3, and I have no idea what the 512k runs.

I also would like to be able to exchange data with my newer compuers, like my mac mini mid 2010, or my imac g5. I can install 10.2 or 10.3 on either of the g3's if a "bridge" is needed.

I have a falleron iprint adapter for connecting the ethernet macs to the localtalk macs. I have all the hardware I need (I hope). My only problem is software.

Macintosh L.C. 475, Other OS, Needs hard drive and monitor cable

Hello, not sure how much of this is still helpful, but here's what remains of my notes on it...

OSX.4.x lost the file transfer ability of Appletalk... 10.1.5 thru 10.3.9 had it!

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301183

With OS9 set with Appletalk to using TCP/IP, and or Chooser>AppleShare+IP, you can connect to the 10.4.8 machine.

Another solution is OpenDoor's $39 Shareway IP, (some OS7, 8, 9 releases had a limited version included)...
http://www.opendoor.com/shareway/

Which makes OS9 Tiger compatable.

"Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer. The Network preference pane in Mac OS X 10.4 and later still offers the AppleTalk checkbox, but it is for browsing AppleTalk-advertised resources and zones. The subsequent connection must be over TCP/IP."

This helps a bit. I still need to figure out if I can/ how to transfer files between the g3's, lc, and 512k. After that, I will work on going to the 10.x macs. If I can get to the g3 b&w, then I can transfer roms to the lc from a flash drive.
