Are you ready to turn it into a file server for your Apple II? Here\'s how.

_Important: As of 11-Aug-14, A2SERVER 1.2.0 is now compatible with the latest version of Raspbian (NOOBS 1.3.9/2014-Jun-20), and the Raspberry Pi Model B+. Type `a2server-setup` to update. If you are already running A2SERVER, and it stopped working after a Raspbian update, see the [recovery page](a2server_recovery.html)._

## A2SERVER
A2SERVER lets you use a [Raspberry Pi][1], or almost any other computer, to serve files to Apple IIgs and enhanced IIe computers on your network. You\'ll also be able to boot into GS/OS or ProDOS 8 directly from tne network (no drives needed). A2SERVER has been designed to be as easy to set up and use as possible, and it\'s free.
<!--A2SERVER is available as a Raspberry Pi installer, or a virtual machine which runs on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, or Solaris computers, or as an easy-to-use installer for Ubuntu or Debian Linux.
