Good news. So I will buy an external SCSI drive, put another 4MB in bank A
of the Mac II. Should be enough for the beginning, for learning. Will I be
able to use ADB design keyboard and mouse with the Perfoma630, and what
about color support?

Of course I won't worry, but propably the new owners will do... But I
think that we have four 1MB SIMMs at home, which belonged to two LC.

How can I connect a second _internal_ SCSI drive?

I have been told that the floppy upgrade fixes the bug in bank A (in case
I would like to have more than 8MB to be able to run X)

take care,
