i generally recommend a variant of this... but i use one of these more often. there's also this modern thing.

i'd just say buy another SE board. they're fairly affordable.

netatalk: afp server. works over appletalk or ip it can also do other things... like routing, but that can be difficult to configure tashrouter: routes packets between appletalk, localtalk (requires tashtalk hat), and LToUDP macipgw bridge: macip gateway that encapsulates tcp/ip to allow...

excellent. another p'book 100 saved.

only reason i'd use a tower would be to steal the molex power.

with scsi, i'd use a Zulu-compatible scsi emulator that has initiator mode. that will image the drives well... all you need is two drive enclosures and appropriate cabling. for ide, i'd get an ide/usb adapter and image with a modern computer.
