Howdy,
So, I'm going to be repurposing my 8100/100 in my collection, and replacing it in my display setup with a Quadra 840AV. I'll move my Radius VideoVision, SuperMac Thunder/24 + DSP, and DigiDesign AudioMedia II from the 8100 to the 840.
So the multimedia workstation display will be:
I'm wondering what makes the most sense to run on the 840AV? My current thought is to put 7.6.1 on it. That way there's a non-Platinum UI machine in the lineup, compatibility with era appropriate 68k software, etc.
Does the 68040 hold up alright on 7.6.1? I've previously only ever put 7.1 on 68k machines.

So the multimedia workstation display will be:
- Quadra 840AV (fastest 68k)
- PowerTower Pro 250 (fastest non-MP clone)
- Quad G5 (fastest PowerPC)
