My current LAN :) is a Mac Classic "Single Share" server, a Mac Plus workstation and a DeskWriter (no number). The Classic was a gift from a stranger. It has no audio, a broken floppy drive and a jumpy video problem. Add to this, one of those 230 MB Quantum drives that does a noisy self check every several seconds... In other words, it's a perfect basement file server. The noble Plus in my office, works like new.
I got back into System 6 because of Jeff Garrison's e-mailing page and some down time after surgery. The Classic server is a BIG improvement over the two-floppy e-mailing system, allowing me to keep Eudora (and a whole lot more) and an e-mail Attachments Folder on the server while freeing up a floppy drive. The drawback is limited space on the Plus boot floppy. This consists of the System and Finder from 6.0.5, Apple Share (& Prep), The Config PPP and MacTCP control panels and the PPP extension. After the Preferences are set, the system control panels are set and Trashed, and Eudora has created the Eudora Folder on the floppy, there is a whopping 75K left for messages. If I keep on top of it and copy my mail boxes to the file server, before deleting any saved messages, there shouldn't be a problem but I don't always keep on top of things :) My question is this: Are there any Syst. 6 e-mail programs that will allow me to keep the WHOLE program, mail boxes and all, on the file server? Right now in order to print mail, I have to copy and paste it into a word processing program on the server, then reboot with another workstation floppy containing the AppleTalk printer extension. It would be great if I could free the floppy space consumed by Eudora (that's the program, not the woman).
