Re:  Why are so many Mac II's for sale?

Mac II owners know when they've been screwed.  Here's what it takes to
make a Mac II equivalent to a IIx or a IIcx:

Superdrive	$500
PMMU		$400
15-30% speedup	$1000    (68030 3rd-party upgrade, no need for PMMU)
> 8M of simms	Priceless
  in Mac II

Frankly, I'm waiting for the price of 68030 upgrades to come down, or
the speed to go up, and for someone to release a decent Mac II
internal-drive upgrade.  Apple can forget it if they think I'll plop
down $2000 for a PMMU, and a disk drive that should have been standard
on their machines TWO YEARS AGO!
