Sam, I have done something similar but not as Woody suggest with a
modern PCMCIA slot.
I have an old PowerMac 7200/120 that I have rigged up and put onto my
network via the ethernet /Appletalk connection (I think that is what
is there). I run OS 8.5 with 96MB RAM and it works fine as a SCSI
scanning station (with an Apple colorOne 600/72) and also double speed
CD burning (noisy and external). I run NCU and connect my MP2100 via
the dongle /printer cable.

I use my Tiger PB with the Newt via the PICO Blunt card from Adriano
but not often. I use iCal and my iPod or DS Lite for alarm clock or
PSP for web browsing or PICO and the Note It widget to the Bluetooth
phone. I guess I use my Newt mainly for text entry (handwriting more
than keyboard) and with Notes that I NCU to my old Mac. It is a bit of
a desk occupier but it works well and consistently and is not
emulating. I might try the MacBook emulation as mentioned in earlier
posts sometime but not for the moment.
hope this helps keep us posted and maybe we can help
cheers Ade
