What is AppleShare 4.0.2 (691-0251-A,Z) (CD)? Network Software Installer Version ZM-1.4 Read Me
• AppleTalk version 58.1 In addition, this Installer installs the following related products: • A/ROSE 1.2 This installer works on either System 6 or System 7 Macintosh computers. The Network Software Installer v.1.4 process correctly handles the installation of AppleTalk v58.1 and related software components on Macintosh 840AVs and Centris 660AVs..
You must use the Installer application (version 3.4.3) included on this floppy disk. Note that the "NSI International Files" folder is not empty; it contains invisible files necessary for the installation. This software should not be installed with AppleTalk Internet Router and AppleShare client on a Macintosh with only 1 Megabyte of memory. If this release of the Network Software Installer is being used in conjunction with an Apple Internet Router v. 3.0 Installer, Router 3.0 _must_ be installed first. This will ensure that the Router installation does not overwrite the newer AppleTalk software contained on NSI 1.4.
ASDSP code is now included for support of PowerTalk. Support for Macintosh Quadra 840AV or Centris 660AV computers.
Fixes a bug where the Network Control Panel 3.0.1 would forget the Router Setup. Fixes a bug where the Network Control Panel 3.0.1 with more than 6 adevs would not select an adev even though it was clicked on. Fixes a bug where the Network Control Panel 3.0.1 with less than 3 adevs would allow a blank cell to be selected. Network Cdev gets installed whenever AppleTalk is installed.
Fixes a bug in EtherTalk/TokenTalk v2.5.2. The Address Mapping Table (AMT) in NSI 1.3.3 was not aging its entries and removing them after 60 seconds.
Fixes a bug in TokenTalk v2.5.1. The driver was not handling case where packets completed "out of sequence" during transmits on extremely busy networks. This would cause Token Ring cards to "hang" occasionally.
Improved code to move data to/from the cards to increase performance of enet drivers. The SNMP LapDot3Statistics were not checking all the possible locations that an error could occur. This resulted in some errors occuring, but not being counted in the SNMP variables.
Network Software Installer Version ZM-1.4.2 Read Me
• Update to AppleTalk version 58.1.2 • Update to EtherTalk version 2.5.6 • Added support for Ethernet driver version 1.1 for the Apple Ethernet LC Twisted-Pair Card • Update to TokenTalk version 2.5.6 In addition, this Installer installs the following related products: • A/ROSE 1.2 This installer works on either System 6.0.5 or later, or System 7 Macintosh computers.
On Macintosh computers with a 68040 microprocessor (Quadra, Centris, and Performa 470 series), some programs may quit unexpectedly or cause the computer to freeze when you attempt to open them over the network. This problem is fixed by using the Network Launch Fix. See secondary download on this page. About Network Launch Fix (1.0.2)

A problem existed with the LocalTalk SNMP byte counting code that would cause an occasional bus error. We were wrongly assuming that we ALWAYS had a WDS pointer and looking at that address to calculate the byte counts. Now we check for Slotless networking devices when coming out of sleep for the PowerBook Duos. Lap Manager only intercepts packets for SAP 0xAA or 0x00. We will attempt to deliver any packet for a destination SAP that is not 0xAA or 0x00 to the SAP listener. If no SAP listener is found, then the packet will be ignored. Add check in LLCAttach for duplicate SAP or SNAP addresses. If so, then an error is returned.
Ethernet driver version 1.1 now allows the SONIC to transmit packets by building chains "on the fly". This results in a faster Ethernet driver. This card no longer uses A/ROSE, but runs in "slave" mode. It now uses the same Ethernet driver that the Ethernet NB Twisted-Pair card uses. Better allocation of memory when Virtual Memory is on.
Ethernet driver version 1.1 now allows the SONIC to transmit packets by building chains "on the fly". This results in a faster Ethernet driver. Better allocation of memory when Virtual Memory is on. Note: The faster Ethernet driver will only speed up Apple's LC Cards and not Third Party LC Cards.
Ethernet driver version 1.1 now allows the SONIC to transmit packets by building chains "on the fly". This results in a faster Ethernet driver. QuickTime on a Quadra 800, Centris 610 or a Centris 650 has much better performance. Better allocation of memory when Virtual Memory is on.
The Apple Ethernet NB LC Twisted-Pair Card is now supported.
The Apple Ethernet CS Twisted-Pair/Coaxial/AAUI Cards are now supported.
Internal build process has changed, but no changes to the driver code except the version number.
Fixed a multinode occasional crashing problem where packets were being sent to a node that was in the middle of being acquired. Download AppleShare 4.0.2 (691-0251-A,Z) (CD) for Mac
