AppleShare: Macintosh LC vs. Macintosh SE/30 Performance



What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the Macintosh LC as an
AppleShare file server compared to a Macintosh SE/30 or Macintosh II
(besides the available expansion slots in the Macintosh II)? Does
AppleShare take advantage of the MC68881/MC68882 math co-processors? Are
there any compatibility problems between AppleShare 2.01 and the Macintosh
LC?

Compared to a Macintosh SE/30, the Macintosh LC is slower. The Macintosh
LC uses a 68020 chip where the Macintosh SE/30 uses the 68030 processor.

There are no known compatibility issues between AppleShare 2.0.1 and the
Macintosh LC. If speed is not an issue and price is, the Macintosh LC
would be a good choice for a file server.

AppleShare really doesn't utilize a math co-processor so this is not really
a factor.
