Be advised that older Mac's - OS 8.5 or earlier - cannot act as a server for OS 10.4.0 or higher. It is a deliberate "feature" of Apple's new software and not a bug that will get fixed. Your "compact Macs" will be OK. as long as that doesn't include the MiniMac. I found a use for a Mac II. I removed the motherboard and used the case and its power supply to provide 5 disks to an SE/30 that acts as my file server. By playing with the power switch and using the startup feature of the Mac II power supply I have the SE/30 set to quit quietly on a power failure and not restart until told to do so. Like others I have Mac II parts here in Colorado Springs that I can part with. -- --> Science is the business of codifying the rules and methods employed by the Intelligent Designer.
