Can anyone help me on how to set it up? Anyone might have any additional ideas on duties or tasks performed by this machine? I am not completely sure it can be used as a mp3 jukebox, though... does it has the needed power to run a mp3 player? If so, which one? I run a fileserver on Linux I have my mp3 in and it would be nice to have a machine (maybe the IIci) located somewhere in the house (Maybe over wireless network attaching it to a wlan bridge and then over the NuBus ethernet...) to use it as a music player.. but, how? Will definitely the IIci fulfill the duty?
If not, the print server idea still looks delicious to me, as long as I am able to run it "headless" (That means, the CPU and the printer on top, without monitor or keyboard attached...)
Any ideas absolutely welcome!
Greetings!

Well, if you have the HD space, think about making it your backup (file)
server. I don't know what Mac OS app you'd run, but if you get A/UX or a
Linux or NetBSD running you can get some scheduled jobs going to repeatedy
copy your latest files from your main machines(s) to it. Or make it an mp3
jukebox/server. Or make it your full-time print server for your LAN. I'm a
fan of taking older equipment and running it "headless" and single-tasking
it for something I wouldn't/ccouldn't/shouldn't do with my primary computer.
