What PowerPC are you looking to buy?
We just got a PowerPC 7200 at work. BAD NEWS!!! Avoid this model,
although the 6100 series or 7100 series will probably work.
1) PowerPC 7200 will not run _any_ current version of Appleshare server
software, v4.x and under.
2) PowerPC 7200 will not run a modem and Appletalk simultaneously. Appletalk
must be disabled to use the geoport modem adapter. (Evidently the 7200 and
the 9500 both share this little boo-boo). Apple has promised a future
software upgrade to fix this problem, but that does us no good at the
present.
3) A PowerPC 7200 locks up - a lot! We haven't found a MacSE applic yet
that will run without bombing the PowerPC 7200. So much for Mac emulation.
Just a few observations based on 3 days of unproductive usage. Your mileage
hopefully will be better :)
