As the Arc fileservers are multi-tasking, it is possible for the same A3020
to be a server and a client.

Hence we could set your A3020 up to access stuff from mine (or another FS)
and/or vice-versa.

I don't have much in the way of 32-bit software though, but I guess it should
be easy enough to copy stuff from yours to mine.

Dave M - does your plan to set up on Friday evening mean that you've got
someone confirmed who can be there then, and supply the cabling, clocks and
terminators needed?

How will that work for people who are bringing kit but won't be there early
Friday evening?

Regards

Michael

As far as I know, both A3020's coming (including mine) are also  
fileservers. Mine has a bunch of 32-bit games on the internal HD,  
which of course can be played locally, but there would be no other 32- 
bit machine to serve them to.

It would still probably be fun to have it there though - if only to  
show any interested parties that Arcs and beebs can talk to each other.
