The LCIII has a full page Radius Monitor attached which I use for doing newsletter layouts. While slow on the internet, it is fast enough with Pulbish It! Easy, WriteNow, and the other stuff I use it for. Upgrading computers is what I did when I bought the laptop to take on the road with me.
Why can the PowerBook 280c see the 1400 (system 7.5.5) and the LCIII not? Same HFS. Also, I shot my wad buying the1400. I don't have it in my budget for a long time to do any more hardware buying. What's a printer server? I have a LocalTalk Network at one office with two LCIIIs, three LCIIs, an SE/30 and and LaswerWriter IIf with "ports" for the "PowerBooks. >I hate to say this, but how about putting the LCIII out to pasture?
