It's mainly the software and the fact that the license floppy is no 
longer readable :^( that keeps me on Mac OS 8 (though this could be 
solved by upgrading to a newer version of Bias Peak).  Also, part of 
it is the simple fact that everything works.  It's a dedicated 
machine, and the old story if it works, don't mess with it.

Ideally I want to move the Audio off of the 8500/180 onto my G4/450 
or G5 2x2, but there are more important upgrades that I still need to 
do after moving to Mac OS X and my G5.

I've got a Darla24, 100Mbit Ethernet and UW-SCSI cards stuffed in 
there (and am still using the onboard Narrow SCSI controller).
