Well, as I wrote in another post, the Dash '030 *is* a repackaged,
clock-chipped IIfx.

As for the rest.. smile when you say it, some of us still run IIx's and
IIfx's. :-)

Seriously, though, there is an article on one of the MacTimes sites
which argues for using an older system as a server. Basically, it
contends that given the speeds of Ethernet and SCSI, even the oldest
macs can keep up with the load.
