I know that, it actually has a 475 board in it (and thus an 040) so it's
OK but it is too restricting because it only has room for one NIC. I
really want a dual NIC machine, the reason I'm using a IIci instead when
I get it, to do multi sub-net IIci so it will be very fast in 7.1 :). I
ran 7.1 on my LCIII(475) for about 2 days and decided I might as well
install 7.6.1.

Yes it will, it frees up lots of RAM by getting rid of stupid
unnecessary extensions I have found I can't turn off for one reason or
another in 7.6.1. It also uses less RAM itself and has less CPU overhead
when running idle.

I need 7.1 or later and OT 1.1.2 to run IPNR - sorry Marten ;).

It is for servers but I like a full featured package for a
client/desktop OS, not one I have to botch and scrape to get stuff
working in, I only do that for 030 powered machines :).

So you aren't biased by that at all then ;).

My server runs 7.6.1 and goes and goes and goes nad.. you get the idea.
It ran for a week straight before I took it out to bring it back here
for easter and since I set up the DHCP services it has run for a further
8 days and I reset it tonight to reconfigure something (thought I'd take
the chance to reboot it and clear it's throat - I always do it when
I'm doing a major change on a server)/

I have 3 System 7 machines (LC - 7.0.1 from it's original install disks,
SE/30 - 7.1, LCIII(475) - 7.6.1 and solid as a rock) an iBook running OS
X and an 840av running 8.1 (it has a 40 GB hard disk in at the mo so
needs HFS+ :) ). I'm happy with all except the LC but it stays as it is
because it's in 100% original state.
