Make that four Macs.  These are two PowerPC's, one 68030 and one 68040. 
The printer is a HP 560c and of course the IIGS.  Never tried to boot from
any of the Macs,  but they all work fine as servers for file sharing.  The
IIGS has never been able to act as a file server.  It's firmware version of
AppleTalk does not include it.
