Hello Mac-II world,
Our local sysop is a bit worried about adding Mac-II's in our network
of Sun-workstations.
If you had the choice between getting a Sun on your desktop or a Mac-II
which one of the two would yopu prefer and why?
Currently our network consists of a number of Sun-workstations in
an Ethernet-network.
Seen from a Sun the network presents itself as one integrated system.
The filesystem, e-mail, printers etc. are completely transparant no
matter on what machine you are working.
o How will the Mac-II present itself in such a network?
One of the disadvantages I see is that the Mac-II's will need their
own UNIX-binaries, but I think we can live with that (because we
already have Sun-3's and Sun-4's and a HP-workstation....).
But.....
o Can the Mac-II's operate with one copy of the UNIX-binaries
from a file-server?
