I guess I do have a couple of questions, though I didn't think I did.  :-)

Have you experimented with using larger hard drives?  Back when 
Perfit was in business, they said that 40, 60, and 80 MB drives (or 
was that 20, 40 and 60?) were the only ones that would work.   I have 
workign drives for my units, but they're starting to get a bit of 
stiction, and I've found it nearly impossible to find drives that 
small anymore.

I was in contact with a fellow who was thinking about hacking the 
firmware to enable larger drives, but I think he never got to the 
project.

I have the SCSI adapter and external floppy drive but I've never 
found a docking adapter.  Do you have a docking adapter?  If so, do 
you know how it installs?  Does it simply plug into the ROM sockets 
in the Plus or SE?

If you know anyone who's 125 has corrupted EEPROMs (typical symptom 
is to buzz at startup and then put trash on screen) I can fix that. 
I pulled the EPROMs from a good set and had several copies run off.

And finally, have you found any "community" of 125 owners?  I've run 
across a few over the years here and there, but there doesn't seem to 
be any particular forum or news group or list where they gather.  I 
check Cory Burton's page about once a year, but I think the for-pay 
nature turned folks off.  I know, I wasn't interested in paying a 
membership fee for vaguely defined services.
