Hi.  I am about to acquire a PLEXUS 68000 based UNIX box running
Sys V.2 (yech, I know 8-).  I have several questions.

1:  Can I get something akin to DNET to compile on this beast?
2:  Can I get an ethernet board for it?
3:  It has 8 serial ports, so I'm hoping to get SLIP on it.
4:  Any other info anybody may have about this box.
5:  Can SLIP run on it?
6:  Any way of adding sockets?
7:  Anybody got a cheap big SMD drive to sell?
8:  Easy and cheap way to move up from V.2?
9:  Any other interesting info, please?


I know that DNET won't compile since V.2 doesn't have sockets.

			Thanks, Ralph
