- I am the owner of a faithful original OUTBOUND portable Mac-clone.
- Through thick and thin (mostly thick, it is kind of chunky), it
- has computed away without complaint.
-
- Now, fate has laid it low. As it was suffering from a bad case
- of hard-disc congestion, I purchased and installed AUTODOUBLER
- on it.
-
- Bad move. Autodoubler crashes on the Outbound. What is WORSE,
- due to some quirk in the Outbound's keyboard handler, pressing
- SHIFT on boot does not solve the problem.
-
- As my OUTBOUND is a hard-disc only model, I cannot boot the
- machine! Also, I don't have a Plus anymore to "dock" to the
- Outbound.
-
- If there is anyone in the TOKYO area who has an original Outbound
- with an external floppy disc drive or a docking module that will
- let me bypass the internal HD, I would greatly appreciate it if
- you would email me.
-
- Many thanks in advance.
