Yeah, I thought about just getting a Linksys router, and I still might, but the idea of using a Mac as a File server still appeals to me. Sure, Wintel might be even less of a PITA, but that's not the point.
Since your Win2K machine is on 24/7, I assume that if you added the Firewall features onto the box, you wouldn't really be running any more energy (probably even less in fact).
Plus, it would give me an excuse to dink around with Linux and/or BSD and give an old Mac a good home. I could even have floppy capability for the price that it would cost to buy a USB floppy.
Does anybody know what the max HD size in the old 68030 and 68040 Mac were?
