Sharing a CD-ROM disc over a network

You can share a CD-ROM disc using the file-sharing feature of System 7.5.2. If the disc has audio portions, you will be able to hear the audio yourself, but other people on the network will not. Likewise, you cannot hear the audio portions of discs you access over a network.

For further information about file sharing in System 7.5.2, see the “Networks

&Telecommunications” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
