You could have a Buick V-8 with overhead cams but if all you've got is 4MB, I think 7.5.x can be safely ruled out. (Yes, it can be done. But juggling chainsaws can be done, too.) I'd go for 6.0.8 if compatibility isn't an issue. 'm planning on > also getting a SCSI to Ethernet adapter for it so I > can connect to the > internet and to my other computers.

What will you be putting in an SE that would require that much storage? Recently I gave an SE-30 with a two gigger in it to an IT guy friend of mine and I was installing software all day and didn't put much of a dent in that harddrive. Do you really need 4 gigs in that thing? William ===== <http://www.artaudsociety.com> MacHeretics Now • Forever __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
