I have a few older Macs from the late-68k/NuBus era to the early PCI era. I have limited desk space; I'd like to be able to tuck them into a basement corner and turn them on and remote-access them when I just want to use them quickly. I'd rather not just leave them running 24/7.
Is there a way to somehow get them to boot remotely? Either on power-up (WiFi power outlets are pretty cheap these days), or over the network, etc.
I'm most interested in ideas for a PowerMac 7200/120 and a Power Computing PowerBase 240. (Thoughts welcome for other models of that era, too.) I recall the Energy Saver control panel having an option for this on some Mac models, but it doesn't on these. There's also the Auto Power On/Off control panel that has this setting, but I haven't yet found a Mac that it works with?
