Why? That's awfully limiting. If I have a IIsi and I want to buy an angle adapter and video card, (nubus), for it, I don't want someoone ragging at me because it's called once removed. I want to see a swap list for 68k machinery that includes what we were looking to buy for those Macs when they were newer. All of it. Nubus cards included. > I'll put the idea to Dan.
