- I have a Dove SCSI on my old 512k/E (and also 2MB RAM upgrade board).
- Works fine for 3 or 4 years now, except that for the last 2 or 3 years,
- the boards have a tendancy of working lose when you move it and so
- every so often I have to open the case and shove them in tight again
- (you know this by the sad mac) (then again, it may be the RAM that
- works lose and not the SCSI -- I just shove everything when I do it).
-
- Since this is so many years ago, I don't know if this is current info
- or not... but ... oh, darn, I was gonna go find the address for you but
- I just moved recently and can't find it. I seem to recall I got it from
- MacConnection... you could check there.
