Re: network admin help needed

The LC 520 is pretty much an all in one version of the LC III. They can be upgraded to an LC 550 (boost up to 33Mhz from 25Mhz) or an LC 575 (with an 040 CPU) simply by swapping in the different logic boards. Do your 520s have caddy or tray load CD-ROM drives? Manual or auto inject floppy drives?

I picked up 10 LC520s yesterday. Very nice machines. These seem to have been used at a youth camp. Most of them are set up for a network. I was able to boot up with extensions disabled and take off the network stuff on all except one. This one has any keyboard sequence disabled on bootup. It
