I use an external SCSI hard drive, external CD-ROM drive, localtalk networking, ethernet networking, and even the floppy drive when appropriate. These are plenty convenient for me; I have several SCSI zip drives but rarely bother with them. I see little value in trying to hack up a compact flash interface. >The Centris has none of the charm >of a compact mac, it is big bulky and unattractive. The upgraded version of your Centris, the Quadra 650, is one of my favorite Mac models. I think System 7 on a fast quadra with a quality Apple color monitor is a very attractive vintage Mac. >Is a 512k enough, or do you need a color classic? While I appreciate the quiet operation of the Plus and below, the SE and Classic are the minimum models for me to use. I like the oval mice and small keyboards; the "aircraft carrier" keyboards are just out-of-place on a compact. And I prefer the convenience of System 7 over the speed of System 6 (I am a patient person!). -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
