We are in the process of setting up a new MacLab at this campus and I'm
interested in getting some information on performance, etc.
The lab is going to contain 25 Mac SEs (2 x 800K), 1 Mac II (not sure
yet what size hard disk but probably 40M or 80M) and 2 ImageWriter IIs. The
machines are all going to be networked together using PhoneNet with the II
being used as a file server/spooler.
The software that will be running in the lab will be AppleShare, Excel,
MicroSoft Word, FileMaker, SuperPaint, LogicWorks, MacMETH (Modula II), and
maybe VIP and HyperCard.
We currently look like having approximately 300+ students who will be
using the lab full time.
What I am interested in is establishing contact with people out there
running a lab similar to this so that I can quiz them with a number of
questions. The questions would mainly have to do with performance
of the various applications while running them from the Mac II using
AppleShare, and the performance of the network in general.
A more general question is whether any of the above packages are not
AppleShare compatible - specificially MacMETH.
Thanks muchly,
Luke Visser
