Having just read a post about the DOVE init for the fdhd, I mailed a note to the poster asking for the init. However, I do need the init and suspect DOVE would not care if one sent it via email since it is utterly useless without their hardware. So, I have a MacII 030 by DOVE and was wondering if someone could please send me the fdhd init via mail... I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

They are meant to give System 7.0 compatibility and use the bus of the plus to handle all other things. How fair is it to expect SE30 performance from an 8mhz bus? I suspect that those needing the speed increase of the SE30 would be moving to the base 030 machines of the II series. The Dove board is meant to keep groups like the student body here, who have pluses and se's for the most part, in a "current" system release. They write papers. The reason they might want system 7 is that the new round of software will need the new managers.... So, the Dove board fills a need. A used plus might 400 dollars soon, since they are about 700 new now... Just my thought, as I have been only happy with Dove. JB
