I am trying to figure out how practical it would be to set up an older Mac (Beige PPC upgraded to a G3 running OS 9.x, or a pre-G3 machine running OS 8.6) on my home (hard-wired-ethernet) network as a music file server/player.
I have an old 7200/120, running Yellow Dog Linux and netatalk, which can simultaneously serve mp3 files to iTunes running on a Pismo with OS 10.2.8, and on a PowerCenter 132 running 9.1. Except for the Pismo, the ethernet connections are 10 Mb. Also works over an 11 Mb wireless link.
I wonder whether a wireless equipped Palm OS PDA with an MP3 player could play the songs on the linux server?
