The 9100 and 8100 both have built in Ethernet. You will need AAUI to 10BaseT transceivers for both. The 6400 may come with an Ethernet card, you'll have to look. If it doesn't you'll need to add one. You have your choice of using a CommSlot II, PDS or PCI card for it. You'll need cables for all and a switch or hub. Or if you have broadband access you could use a router with built in switch. Connecting the LaserPrinter depends on the model. If it has Ethernet just connect it with the others. If it has LocalTalk you can use either a hardware Ethernet to LocalTalk bridge or Apple's free LocalTalk Bridge software.

catching up on mail. i can't find 9100 listed on everymac, apple or Mactracker. can you give me a ref.
Yeah, I missed that on the first go round. There is no 9100 but there is a 9150. This is WorkGroup Server machine that has 4 NuBus slots, a tape drive and is faster.
