Apple Peforma 5200CD (formely 6200)

[Derick Centeno]

Sorry, James.  If you examine carefully the link I provided to you will  
find that Terra Soft Solutions (TSS) lists the Performa 5200 on the  
same line as the Performa 6200.  This means that your options are  
limited to what I recommended.

Cian:
  It may be that I am remembering TSS's first product -- Champion Server  
1.1!  Still although I still have the CDs for it, as far as I know no  
public server has it available for download.  There's another wrinkle  
regarding the Mac IIci, the 68030 was, for some, seen as a precursor to  
the G3.  In any case, these older systems are interesting as a cross  
between archaeology and engineering; our memories and the discussion  
regarding these systems are academic.

James:
Only you can decide whether you are willing to decide whether the time  
(research) and cash (modifications and other hacks) to get the Performa  
working with YDL 2.3 is a worthwhile effort.  Remember that even with  
the modifications you may make the TSS documentation it is very clear  
that nothing may in fact work.

Best wishes...
