Interesting. The whole netatalk (on linux) thing is what got me thinking about this. I dont suppose you tried booting your IIgs from the Linux box with your ethertalk/localtalk adaptor did you? I notice that netatalk seems to support apple II boot.

I did try a couple of years ago and couldn't get anything on the Apple ][ to work when connected to an Apple Network Server running Yellowdog Linux 2.1 and Netatalk (the Mac side all worked as expected).

I suspect that we're limited to Appleshare 3.x for booting an Apple ][ over the network.
