Hello all, I have and old M6709LL/A iMac G3, I would like to use it as a server, I do not need to use it with WIFI, I would also still like to use OS 9 on it, (The original OS). One of the few things I'm not really good at with macs is turning them into servers, I already have a SNAPAPPLIANCE 1TB WIFI Windows/Mac server at my office, but it's a bit harder to set something using mac OS 9. I have two Macs running Tiger on them, and would like them to be linked to the iMac. Is it hard to mix OS 9 and Tiger? And can someone show me the process?

Thanks for your help,

Jesse

Tiger plays best with other macs running tigers.
After upgrading everything in our labs to more or less similar software as our servers so many small nitty issues disappeared at once. YMMV
