For those of us who don't have any money to upgrade, we can cheat.
There is always the option of booting your 2.x machines off the 3.0 machine.
It'll be slow and you might need a machine with lots of disk space for swap.
Of course, that means the disk on the 2.x machine doesn't get used for
anything unless you tell it to.
NetBooting is covered in Chapter 9 of the Network and System Administration
manual from NeXT.
