I am in the process of setting up a lab with 14 Mac +'s with
an extra machine to be used as a file server. I plan 
to use Appleshare.  TOPS is a bit out of my budget. 
The currnet plan is to use a Mac+ as the server with
2 apple 20 meg disks from apple.  However the apple
disks are rather expensive.  

My questions are 1) does anyone have experience with 
appleshare network using some of the less expensive hard
drive now out?  Is what problems did you have? How 
is the perfomance of the drives and the network?

2) If I go with an Mac SE with internal hard drive does
the network performance improve? If so how much? If
one uses the internal apple drive in the SE does one
have problems using non-apple external drives?  I have read
that one should not mix hard drives on appleshare.  Is there
any software problems that arise using a SE for the server
for MAc+ workstations?
