Actually, if I were going to use a SCSI HD with a Plus server, I would use a ZIP 100 drive. They are absolutely silent unless being accessed. You can get 'em really cheaply on eBay these days, too.
The novelty of setting up a server on a disk drive is very romantic and worth the effort. unfortunately once all the system stuff is loaded that doesn't leave much room for stuff to serve, even with two floppy disks, especially if any of those things are images.
As far as experimenting goes, I'd like to get a web server up and running on a 64K ROM 512k with 400K floppy drives. Now THAT would be a challenge!
Looks like the http://www.machttp.org/ software only runs on System 7.5 now though. Did earlier versions run on something else? Though this guy seems to have the latest version running under 7.0.1 on his SE http://oldmac.toddverbeek.com/
