Alright, I've got these four LCII's that I don't know what to do with.

My main idea right now is to see if maybe I could set them up as a cluster (beowulf)to crunch SETI work units or Prime Number research. I don't know too much about Linux on 68k Macs, but it should be possible, right. All four LCII's have identical specs: 80MB HD, 10MB RAM, 10BaseT ethernet, System 7.0.1.

Anybody here know much about this? Have I set my hopes too high?

I may be wrong, but i'm thinking that if you can find someone with a good knowledge of Linux and BeoWulf clusters, it may very well be possible, but you'd need to try and get your hands on a version of SETI@Home that works on 680x0 processors.
