I put a MAC CD into my NT system CD-ROM drive. The NT system didn't
like it. So I assume MAC CDs are not ISO 9660, therefore, the
InfoServer would not read them either.

Do you have one older MAC around that would run the MAC InfoServer
client software? If so, do MACs allow sharing out connected drives
the way NT does? That's about all I can think of.....

| Then the next step would be can the NT then share this Mac CD to the
network, using Services for Macintosh and Appletalk?
By default the normal Mac operating system can not redirect a share so
to speak. It can only offer its local drives. However with Apples File
Server software you seem to be able to share remote drives also, and
this is what we are having her actually try. However this is not ideal
when the shared drives may be heavily used.
Since the customer does have an NT 4.0 system, that really seemed to be
the better choice in this case. The older Mac they have is a somewhat
slower model.
But we had quite a few users who had purchased the Infoserver for Mac
product and they were kinda left stranded when the new Mac models came
out.
I was hoping this would be a viable alternative for using thier Macs
with the Infoserver.
Thanks for the help.
