So, I've had this Duo 230, plus the Duo Dock II, laying around for some time now. I think I've decided I want to use it as a router for my home net, but I have a couple questions. When docked, I show 24mb RAM and a I think the Duo has a 320mb hard drive built in. The ONLY thing I want to do it route and possibly serve some small web pages from it like mp3 lists and such. The big question I have is, do I stick with MacOS or try and get Linux running on it? I'll obviously need a couple NuBus 10BaseT cards, which I don't know where to get info on or if a 68k Linux will support them. Is there good enough software for MacOS to run this as a router? A web server? System 7.5.3 is installed right now, what's the newest I can goto? As you can see I'm no Mac guru, but this little machine is fun and I'd like to learn more about it. Right now it just keeps shutting off for no apparent reason, and I had the ticking PSU when I plugged it in after letting it sit for a year or so. I let it tick and the cap charged up eventually though. That'll get me by until I can get to Radio Shack. :) Anyhow, any updated or other useful sites on this little machine will be of great help. Thank you.
You can do this on the Mac OS with IPNetRouter from <http://www.sustworks.com>. It's easier to setup and learn than Linux is. You probably only need one NuBus Ethernet cards as there is the built in Ethernet (you will need a transceiver for it). 24Mb is plenty of room for doing this.
