It should work fine, this is the way it
is set up at my work place, and except
for the Server, it's all Macs.

I can't help you there, but I think that
some Windows CD writing software that
should write Mac CDs, but I'm not sure.

I don't think that would be a problem.
On larger networks, maybe, but not for
you.

No problem there, as far as I know. You
should be able to at least put two
Drives on one cable.
Good luck,
