Why would you have bought an A560?

A560 was an arcnet card, not ethernet. The usage was the typical things, sharing filesystems, printers etc. The software was early versions of Envoy I guess, or the TCP/IP-stack AS225. There was also the A2060 card for zorro machines.

A2065 was the ethernet equivalent, and is still quite commonly in use. I've never heard of an A565, sadly - it would be quite high on my wish list :-)

Sorry to bring this up again, but does anyone know what a user would have seen when booting from a server? Did anyone ever try this?

It would look just like booting from a floppy or hard disk, I guess. Only difference would be that the boot device would be a network share instead of floppy/hard disk.
