Re: [L-OT] PCI Slots

2002-07-07 by TazmnianDv@aol.com

I made this suggestion several years ago, but I wonder if there is some way 
to hotrod an older mac to use it as a poorman's expansion chasis. I have an 
older mac with 3 PCI slots collecting dust. Does anyone have any ideas? If 
so, this would allow for very cheap solutions. I know you can hook the two 
machines up through ethernet - but it may be possible to hook them through 
SCSI too - so the master could access the harddrive of the slave computer.

>(or 6?) slot machines.  When they stopped a lot of pros complained.
