Oh, don't give up! :)

Seriously, is anyone interested in attempting this sort of project?  I
cannot imagine anything cooler than being able to boot a series of
IIGS machines from a Linux box, giving those precious wonders a
literal WEALTH of storage space potential and print options.  Okay, so
maybe the latter is already available, but seriously:  I love this
idea.  :)

Sadly I am not a technically brilliant sort-of person.  Surely there
are enough people who could benefit from this to warrant further
investegation?

Hmmm... Intriguing indeed :)

Cheers!
