HP J3278B - SureStore CD-ROM Server/Tower 7 NAS Server Manual page 13

AFP Protocol Support for Apple Macintosh
The HP SureStore CD-DVD/ROM Server now supports the
AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) over AppleTalk with EtherTalk,
and over TCP/IP. Any Macintosh client using the native Macintosh
network access tools (such as Chooser) can access any Hierarchical
File System (HFS) CD or DVD on the HP server. These Macintosh
protocols are supported simultaneously with the other protocols
such as IPX/SPX, Microsoft networking, NFS, TCP/IP and HTTP.

Supported operating systems include Mac OS 7.x, 8.x, and
MacOS X Server using AppleShare 3 or later.
Discs written in HFS or ISO9660 format, or both, can be shared.
So, both PC and Macintosh clients may be given access to the
same disc. Data and applications designed only for one operat-
ing system may not be usable by other platforms; however,
some files types such as Microsoft Word or Excel, or graphics
formats such as PDF and EPS, can be used by both platforms.
(Conversion of data between Macintosh and PC formats is not
provided.)
HFS-formatted discs can be cached on the HP J4150A
SureStore CD-ROM Server Plus.
You can configure the AppleTalk zone(s) in which the server is
to appear.
For secure Macintosh environments, you can configure access
rights by user and group using a remote Macintosh computer as
an authentication server. Remote user lists and group lists are
supported.
Or you can assign access rights by share using specific pass-
words.
