Anyone have any experience networking a PowerMac running OS 8.x and a MacMini running OSX? My brother-in-law needs to connect the two, and somehow connect a PC into the network as well.
Been considering adding a fourth computer into the mix, a Linux server box, and using a shared Linux drive to share files between the computers. It would involve sharing a Linux directory as both an HFS share and a SMB share simultaneously.
However, getting the Macs networked together is the most important bit. We'd be using an Ethernet switch to connect the two Macs together. Considered a crossover cable and discarded that idea early on.
I've found some solutions but cheap and/or free is the order of the day here. The expensive solutions tend to be Ethernet and the cheap solutions tend to be weird (such as connecting the two via null modem cable).
