I understand you use a LCIII as a server, but you want to replace it with a IIci because, you want to run 7.1. Why don't you install 7.1 on your LCIII? It only needs a tiny enabler to run that. BTW 7.1 won't make your server any faster. If you wanna have a faster server, you can do two things: use a faster Mac (like a 68040 or higher) in order to overcome the lousy I/O of system 7 or use that Mac IIci and install system 6 and AS 2... Assembly coded I/O really pays of for a server. I once used a IIci with system 6 as a file server. You won't believe how fast it was. To bad it was rather noisy. Now I use a LC with a disabled fan and a hard disk that falls a sleep as soon as it is finished. It is not very fast, but I don't care about that. If I want a fast connection I access the public folder of my iMac directly. In general: I totally disagree with you on 7.1 being a bit limp for a desktop OS because it has less crap. I consider that to be one of the advantages of 7.1. Not that I use any kind of system 7 on my client machines. I hate system 7 as a client OS. It is far to unstable. On the 3 clients in use at home I run : 6.05, 8.1 and X. ---------------------------------------------------------- Check out the System 6 Heaven: http://www.euronet.nl/users/mvdk/system_6_heaven.html Subscribe to the LEM system6 list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------- -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
