Hi all, I am a Mac novice and was recently given a PowerBook 520. I bought a power adapter through eBay for it and was able to get it up and running. Seems to have a 25 MGH Motorola processor 8.1 OS and a maybe a 120 MB hard Drive. The more I discover about it the more intrigued I get, I just ordered a AAUI transceiver to try to connect it to a RJ45 then to my internet cable. I was wondering if I should get an external 9GB SCSI Hard Drive that I see all over EBay, but then I need to hunt down a SCSI adapter from my Power book. I was able to find a Apple color Monitor that I may be able to plug the Power Book into if once again I can find a video connector for it. I wondered did they ever make a docking station for this model. The problem I see is that I have no room on my hard drive to install Netscape or Internet explorer without using external storage. Is this worth the learning experience or am I taking a laptop and converting it to a desktop? I wondered what places are out there with downloads (preferably free) All I have on this is MS Word5.1. Thanks Dave
