Panther (10.3.x certainly up to 10.3.2, dunno if anything has transpired in 10.3.3...) has a very bad flaw in it that affects SCSI and Firewire timing. This flaw has seen users of Firewire external
Thanks for the warning.

It should work, I have done is successfully using double ethernet interfaces. It might take a bit of tarting about to set it up, and you need to be well enough voiced in TCP/IP to set the client machine up right.
Can you point me to a website that gives some advice on this?
> 3. Can I put older PCI cards in the B&W. For example, I have a P166DOS card.
IIRC the P166 DOS card is not supported at all in the B&W G3. I have half a feeling a friend of mine got one working at one point but it was in OS 8.6. Certainly an absolute no-go in OS X.
I might give it a try as the machine came with 8.6
Thanks for the advice,
