TOPIC

    This article explains what versions of the AppleShare Client and the Mac OS are supported for connecting to an AppleShare IP (ASIP) 6.0 server.

DISCUSSION

    The earliest supported client varies depending on the largest volume size that is shared on the ASIP 6.0 server.

    For servers with volumes smaller than 2 GB:
    • AppleShare Client 3.5 or later.
    • System 6.0.7 or later.

    For servers with volumes larger than 2 GB:
    • AppleShare Client 3.5 or later.
    • System 7.5 or later.

    Volume sizes will be reported incorrectly for volumes larger than 4 GB unless the client is running AppleShare Client 3.7.4 or later and Mac OS 8.1 or later.

    Also, file sizes may be reported incorrectly on Mac OS Extended format volumes (also referred to as HFS+ volumes) unless the client is running AppleShare Client 3.8 or later.

    For these reasons, Apple strongly recommends that you upgrade your client Macintosh computers to Mac OS 8.1 or later and AppleShare Client 3.8 or later.
