Hi slomacuser,
I've been playing with a Q950 with WGS card (and some of your parts, the Thunder graphics card and network card too!). I believe that with the WGS card installed, it is functionally exactly the same as a bonafode WGS95 (I think the WGS95 has a bracket to take more hard disks however)
My answers aren't definitive but trying to help
1. Don't know
2. I'd doubt it - the WGS doesn't have a Gesalt ID (looking at the "Wish I Were" utility), and System 7 doesn't really care much for the WGS card - it's really only useful in an AU/X environment. I believe it has faster SCSI speeds over the onboard SCSI and the cache RAM helps things along, but that's it.
3. Same here! I don't think I'll ever use AU/X due to it's complexity, if not familar with UNIX I'd look into running something like OS 8.1 and something like an FTP server program.
