In the not too distant past one could buy a gizmo that would slip into a 512E and provide a SCSI port. This was *the* alternative to upgrading to the Plus. I'd like to get one. Dove was one source that I remember, but when I phoned the local Dove distributor they told me Dove no longer sells it. So, does anyone have such a thing for sale, new or used, or does anyone know of a company that still sells one. If not, does anyone know what went into it. I saw one once and it was very simple. I have no problem getting out the soldering iron and scope to put something together, but I'd rather not start from first principles. If there's enough interest I'll post a summary of notable responses. Thanks.

According to a recent MacWarehouse catalogue, the Dove SCSI board IS still available for $109: 1-800-255-6227 - but I haven't checked on this. Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu

In article <1927@bnlux0.bnl.gov> kneifel@bnlux0.bnl.gov I write: >MacAdvance (508) 897-0466 sells two boards for upgrading 512KE macs. THIS IS THE WRONG PHONE NUMBER!!!!!!!!! I made a mistake and grabbed the wrong number from my desk. The correct phone number is (815) 229-5023 I should also mention that the MacGusto is a kit, I don't think I made that clear earlier.
