One thing to look at it Apple's support of AppleTalk over ethernet. It was permanently removed in all OS neXt versions after 10.3.9. To communicate with OS 10.4.0 and above you must use AppleTalk over internet protocol (IP). OS 9.1 and above on your 8600 can do that but you have to turn it on with a control panel operation. OS 8.5 is, in principle, capable also but you may need an open transport upgrade. I really don't think OS 10.4 on your quicksilver would affect AppleTalk over ethernet between other machines but it is conceivable. Older Mac OS's down to 7.5 and perhaps lower are supported with AppleTalk over IP by Open Door Software's Shareway but have your wallet open when you buy for each low end Mac you have. You can also try Netpresenz from Stairways (Interarchy) which acts as an FTP server on older Macs. -- --> So are we going to celebrate the start of a new decade at the end of this year?
