I am looking into getting a pclan for Spartacus. At spartacus we have IBM mainframes, sun workstations, a Vax, an Apple plus and 50 PCs. I am looking to get a PC network initially for the marketing dept. but probably expanding to sales, customer support and manufacturing and inventory and possibly accounting. So I'm looking for a basic network for print sharing but is easily expandable. All the PCs are currently hooked up to the network with 8 bits novell 5010 ethernet cards. I was wondering what network would be best to hook up the initial 8 PCs and a MAC Plus. and how easy it is to install or would it be best for me to pay someone to install it. Also is it alright to use 8 bit cards if your only using it for common data. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Tom Kilday
