After moving house and building out my basement (almost finished...) I'm starting to think about putting my system back together, along with newly acquired (but not new) hardware. Any suggestions on how best to network all this stuff? I have been using regular Ethernet.
I have:
A G5 running 10.5 with two 300 GB internal drives: for Photoshop
A G4 running 10.4 with one 80 GB drive: was my Photoshop machine, now I'm thinking I could use it to run some of my printers
An older G4 running 9.1 that is dedicated to my big Fuji Finescan flatbed
A Dell desktop running Windows XP which is dedicated to my Howtek 4500 drum scanner with DPL software
An Epson 9800 and an old 2200 using the Epson driver
An Epson 7600 and an Epson R1800 using QTR (USB only)
I'm planning to get some sort of RAID-1 external backup box which would preferably talk to more than one of the computers.
Oh yes, and a G4 Powerbook that I sometimes hook in.
Thanks for any help...
