I think the group has gone over to googlegroups now, Macolyte, since
Monday. You are coming up in my Junk Mail! :)

Oh and i forgot to mention..
My brother gave me his Plus last year for nothing, with it i got an
external hard drive and a selection of app's including Adobe
photoshop 2.5. Don't think it worked on the Plus last time i tried
due to it not having an FPU.
The drive was buggered so i replaced it with the only SCSI drive i
had, a 2GB Seagate. Ended up partitioning it into two 500mb
partitions, i'm not greedy just so long as it works. In addition
i've got an iomega floptical drive and an extra 800k floppy
attached. I've also got the Plus networked to my PC/Mac LAN using
an Asante Mini EN/SC adaptor.
Originally it wouldn't work on the network, however i discovered i
could fool the auto sensing on the hub/router by flicking the Link
integrity switch on the Asante from on to off while it was on.
I've just installed OS 7.0 and currently giving it a test drive. It
IS noticeably slower then 6.0.8 but i'm not sure if it's too slow
for me to use, i have had an out of memory report when trying to
run something and the Plus has 4mb of ram.
I might switch back to 6.0.8 or perhaps make it dual boot, it's all
for fun.
Next on the cards will be an SE/30 as i think it will be perfect
for what i want, email and word processing. I find i get more done
on my plus then i do with the G4 500 at my desk.
