Hi. I am looking into the purchase of a macintosh II and have a couple of questions. 1. What stories exist (good and bad) about third party internal hard disks. I am looking at the CMS ProAPP 40meg drives, are they any good? The price I saw was $965. Is this good? Are there better drives? The difference in purchasing the machine with and without the hard drive is $1400 and I thought I could do better. 2. Are there any problems with Lightspeed Pascal V1.11A (my intended development environment)? I tried a quick test and everything seemed fine. I had one strange lockup, but there may have something wierd installed because after a reboot, the same operations worked fine. 3. What is a good price for a macintosh II (2 floppy) system unit? That's about all for now. -- Randy Buckland (919)-541-7103 Research Triangle Institute rcb@rti.rti.org [128.109.139.2] {decvax,ihnp4}!mcnc!rti!rcb

There have been reports of crashes using Lightspeed Pascal 1.11a on a Macintosh II in color mode, but this crash happens on a very random basis. Nonetheless, we are tracking this problem. Otherwise, there are no known problems running Lightspeed Pascal 1.11a on a Mac II.. --Rich **The opinions stated herein are my own opinions and do not necessarily represent the policies or opinions of my employer (THINK Technologies, Inc). * Richard M.
