Thanks for the offer. Think I'll let the IIci and the 7100 RIP. The 6100 should
be able handle the IIci tasks although there could be a 68K vs PPC application
support problem -- hoping the software is FAT.
And really love the 7500; I could run OS X on it via Xpostfacto and still use
my
FileMaker database in Classic. This would also allow me to network to my other
G3's and G4's running Tiger.
As a side note, the first 6100 I used to replace the 7100 blew it's power
supply
within the first hour I had it running. I could not believe it, good thing a
have a surplus of 6100's laying around. --glen
