Mac128, a million thanks for adding this. I only had time to skim through it today on my lunch hour, but I'll give it a more thorough read tonight. Anyway, I did Google for "XL/Serve Lisa" based on what your article mentioned. I came across this Lisa Handbook PDF. Open it in your browser and then search for "HD-20" which will jump you down to the section I found interesting ("August 1986"). At the time, Apple's HD20 product manager formally recommended leaving it turned on 24/7 unless you wouldn't be using the hard drive for several days. They say it does more harm to those drives when you switch them ON/OFF each day. I also Googled up this XL/Serve Manual Photo from a Japanese site (they at one time sold it, but now have no stock).
Here are some things I Googled up about MacServe:
• December 1986 Mousehole (search for "MacServe" in your browser to jump to it)
• August 1986 Mousehole (search for "MacServe" in your browser to jump to it)
• Sydney Apple Users' Group Book Listing (would be very interesting to find a 1991 copy of Members Handbook # 345!)
In regards to navigation of your website, I could not find any easy way to bookmark individual pages at first. I've seen such on all Flash sites, but your site appears to be standard HTML. It appears that your web server is masking out the individual page URLs in order to give the address bar a cleaner look? Regardless, I'm one for a dirty look if it gives me access to bookmarking an individual page. I discovered the individual pages in your site only by COMMAND-Clicking on the "Read more..." text links, which throws the pages into a new Tab in Safari. And for some reason, I get the whole URL of the page only when I throw individual pages of your site into new tabs!
Anyway, jump to this page on your site and scroll down to the ClarisWorks: Using OS X Classic section. You make mention of "MFS Lives" but you don't provide a download link for it in the text. It would be nice to have an easy means to download that while reading your text.
Lastly, I noticed some AppleTalk networking pages on your site. I've actually been having a discussion in this Vintage Macs thread. (Since I haven't the faintest idea how to jump to you the actual posts, you need to load that page, scroll to the bottom and look at my "JDW" reply to HexStar. Pretty much the rest of that thread centers on AFP troubles under OS 10.4 when using classic Macs.) I recently posted a detailed set of OS tests, from System 7.1 through 8.1 on my SE/30 which some of you may find interesting.
