I'm interested in hearing from anyone who might have a DoveFAX+ modem

it for a few different uses. First, I have a recipe-card program called

Does anyone on the list happen to dabble in programming for the 68k

old machines. I just need to learn more
I believe this fan may be the original fan used in the Mac SE before
Apple went to the standard design. The Dead Mac Scrolls shows one instance
of a fan like this.
