I have just found two old LCs.
I would like to rejuvenate them so that students and lab assistant can use them.
In our environment we have already moved to OS X, airport etc..., however I believe these vintage Macs are worth a few bucks for upgrading them.
So the idea is to upgrade the LC with the Sonnet PrestoPlus thing, but for the LC 475 (a.k.a. Quadra 605, Performa 475 or 476 ) there are no PPC upgrade still availabe.
I wonder: what would be the advantage of a ppc upgrade in this case? I don't see how this would improve integration. Even after a ppc upgrade these vintage machine will still be to slow to compete with the OS X ready hardware or to run carbon software (if at all) .
When it comes to integrating them together in one network, that is mostly a software thing. Appleshare client software that can do tcp/ip runs on any 68030 or higher Mac with system 7.1 installed.
The LC's (68020) will need an upgrade to do that, but you can also do filesharing over appletalk version 58.1.4 and that can be done by any 68000 or higher Mac running system 6 or higher.
