I am not sure what you can do with MacOS, it has been too long. Here's an idea though: one option would definitely be NetBSD running samba and cups. There may be a linux variety that runs on mac 68k too but I can't recall. Stephen On Thursday August 19 2004 10:16 pm, Jim Raper wrote: Hi,

It all depends. Like the others, I say ditch the 5200. They were a HORRIBLE model. I am personally biased in favor of the 630, because my first personal mac was also a Q630. (The only major diff. between an LC630 and a Q630 was the full '040, IIRC). But the 660AV is also a very nice machine. It
