- I don't agree with leaving the low end machines out in the cold
- Picture this: a computer lab in a high school (or college)
- with one or two A3000's with large SCSI hard drives and alot of A500's
- without hard drives networked to the servers.
- This is a pleasant, LOW COST, solution
- if only cheap network attachments were available for the A500's.
- This is a productivity environment which uses low end machines.

- I'm excited to read about the possibility for homebrew arcnet
- adapter designs for the parallel port.....
