Rig of the Day: Family reunion

Today's rig shot is fantastic. Flickr user and TUAW reader thenode hosted a bit of a "family reunion" for many of his Macs. Specifically, he got a Powerbook 520c, an SE-30, a Quadra 630 and a Mac mini (the youngster of the group) all networked together to play Armor Alley. The kids even got in on the fun. As thenode said, "This is a true monument to what you can do if you have enough cables." As a person who loves playing with vintage Macs, I've got to be biased and say this may be my favorite rig shot so far.

For the month of April, the theme for our Rig of the Day will be "Vintage Macs" in honor of Apple's anniversary. If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool. Let's see your vintage Macs (Apples and Newtons, too)! We'll select an image every day to highlight.

I love armor alley, I remember the days where me and my bros had strung phone cables all over the house so that we could run a localtalk network to play armor alley on our LC520, Powerbook 180, and Quadra 950.

We could have a reunion like above over at my house. We've got an 8600, a 7100, an SI, and a clamshell iBook sitting on the floor begging to find a new home (well, ok, any place but our living room).

Getting rid of these things is causing a bit of marital disharmony. My wife and I both want to get these relics out but I don't want to do so until I can "wipe" the hard drives clean.

No problem if it's OS X, but most of these have OS 9. How can most easily accomplish this?
