- If you want to keep both floppies, get an external. To install,
- just plug it in to the back of the computer on the SCSI port and
- turn the hard drive on.

- 1x8's. Don't know any tricks, but don't touch any of those neat
- metal things on the back of the monitor. Dissipate any of your
- static charges with the cover of the power supply. (You have to have
- the computer plugged in so as to have a ground.)
- You need to install SIMM's two at a time. I.E., you can't just put
- 3 1MB SIMMS in the computer.
- MacConnection includes a free video with their RAM.

- You need a new ROM to be able to use an FDHD, which might come with
- the Apple FDHD upgrade kit.
