Sorry... By "Mac II-type" I meant that size mb. Both that I have use real
Apple motherboards. One is (iirc) a Mac IIx, the other is a IIfx. Very
nice servers for their time, with great cases.

Well, as I wrote in another post, the Dash '030 *is* a repackaged,

As for the rest.. smile when you say it, some of us still run IIx's and
IIfx's. :-)
Seriously, though, there is an article on one of the MacTimes sites
which argues for using an older system as a server. Basically, it
contends that given the speeds of Ethernet and SCSI, even the oldest
macs can keep up with the load.

That's why I use an ancient 386/25 as a fileserver around the house
here -- it's running an early RedHat Linux that I see no need to
upgrade, as once I got SAMBA stabilized on it, it works fine for
my wife's Windows systems and I let it nfs mount disks on the
faster/newer systems -- the machine itself only has 340 Mb disk
itself, but by sharing nfs-mounted volumes through Samba, it looks
like it has more and a 386/25 can pass ethernet packets as fast as
anybody else until I upgrade to 100 megabit. Then I'll have to
configure Samba on another system -- not looking forward to it.
