Apple Macintosh System 7.5 - Manual (Page 33)

Network services
Use the following compatibility guidelines for AppleShare servers, clients,
and System 7 file sharing.
AppleShare server software
AppleShare File Server version 4.0 (or later) and Print Server can provide
service to both System 7 and System 6 computers. You can upgrade the
Macintosh on which the server software is installed to System 7.5 if you are
using the latest version of AppleShare 4.0 software.
To install an AppleShare server on a Macintosh using system software version
7.5, you need the latest version of AppleShare 4.0.
AppleShare workstation software
AppleShare workstation software (the software on users’ computers that is
used to access file servers) is installed as part of System 7.5.
This new version of AppleShare workstation software is compatible with
AppleShare File Server software versions 3.0 and later and AppleShare Pro 1.0
and later.
File-sharing software
The file-sharing capability of System 7.5 lets users share folders and disks
with other users. Network users access files on a shared Macintosh or
PowerBook by connecting through the Chooser, in exactly the same way that
they connect to an AppleShare file server.
AppleShare users who do not upgrade to System 7.5—including users of
Macintosh System 6 and the AppleShare II
GS software—can also access
folders or disks shared by System 7.5 users.
