Could it be the file system incompatibility? How can I overcome that. The apple sees the server, however, it gives me an error message about contacting a sys. I'm thinking of trying to boot from AppleTalk network, I setup all the cables on my Performa and added a shared folder. My GS is a ROM 3 with a memory expansion board, 2MB total ram.
: Yes, but I have only one 3.5" drive and one 5.25".

Other GUI environments exist for the 8-bit Apples, including Quark Catalyst, another Mac-styled program launcher and GEOS, a full blown GUI application environment and OS including productivity applications. How does Apple II DeskTop compare to Catalyst and GEOS? Instant Pascal - Think Technologies, Inc (uses MouseGraphics ToolKit) Version Tel - Version Soft (hangs in Virtual ][ but works in MAME French language) Mouse Calc - Version Soft (yes, it's a GUI it just looks like MouseText until a graph is displayed) GS Font Editor - Beagle Bros (it runs on 8-bit Apples!)Ĭhildren’s Writing & Publishing Center - The Learning Company TimeOut Paint (for AppleWorks) - Beagle BrosīeagleWrite (formerly MultiScribe) - Beagle Bros Note that most of these use their own GUI code, not MGTK. While practically any Apple application that supported mouse input in text mode, ran in graphics mode, or ran under GEOS or GS/OS might technically qualify, this section will only list applications for 8-bit Apples that provide a menu-driven interface using a bitmapped graphics display and run under ProDOS. What other "GUI applications" exist for the Apple II? And when the Apple IIgs was released in 1986 it attracted both the users and developers who desired a GUI experience for the Apple II line. Text-mode applications like AppleWorks were already popular, and GUI applications tended to be much slower and consume more memory. Apple didn't promote MGTK heavily, perhaps because they wanted to encourage development on the new Macintosh platform. But this did not happen for a variety of reasons. In theory, there could have been an extensive suite of ProDOS applications for the 8-bit Apple line that used the MGTK to provide a consistent experience. This toolkit was loaded into RAM by applications to provide a GUI experience, and was used by DeskTop and a handful of other GUI apps.
In 1985, two years after the Apple IIe was released and one year after the Macintosh launched, Apple produced the MouseGraphics ToolKit (MGTK) for the Apple IIe and later machines.
The Apple II had no GUI toolkit routines in ROM. Sometimes this illusion was broken, such as early versions of MacPaint that didn't honor the desktop pattern, or games that didn't use the GUI. The experience was seamless because most applications took advantage of the GUI toolkit routines in ROM to present menus, windows, and so on. Until systems had more memory and the MultiFinder was released several years later, the Finder was completely replaced in memory when another application was run, and reloaded when the other application exited. It seemed like you never left the desktop GUI provided by the Finder app. Then you launched MacPaint, edited a picture, and quit right back to the Finder. When you quit, you were back in the Finder. You started off in the Finder, and launched MacWrite. Every application had the same look and feel. The original 128k Macintosh seemed revolutionary. "I mean GUI applications that run in DeskTop!" Yes, any ProDOS app is compatible with DeskTop, whether it's AppleWorks, ShrinkIt, or MousePaint. Are there applications for Apple II DeskTop?
