A quick history question. My dad has a 512K (i.e. pre-Mac+ machine). He
would like to upgrade to at least 1 Meg. to get a decent spell checker to
run.
1. I have 256K simms available. Will they go in his machine?
2. Can he put a SCSI external hard disk on his machine? Or does he need some
other approach to get hard disk capability?
Thanks.
J.B.

John, I would recommend getting one of the numerous upgrades to a Mac Plus, which would give you the 1 meg memory, and a SCSI port. The 512 doesn't have a SCSI port, so a SCSI drive can't be used. Also you would get the Mac Plus ROMs, which are still supported by Apple. the 512 ROMs are no longer supported. I beleive you need the plus ROMS to use the 1 meg of memory...Good Luck Barry
