Thanks folks for all the responses. I guess I'll be going with 7.1 and sticking with just 64MB of RAM. It's great to see several IIsi owners still out there. These machines still rock. They weren't as expandable as the IIci's but they were work horses. I wonder if you could say the same for 38

Hey folks, A few questions regarding my IIsi: 1) Which OS would be the most optimal for this machine? 6? 7.0? 7.0.1? 7.1? 7.5? etc. 2) I just got in my possession an old IBM 4019 laser printer. If I wanted to hookup this printer to the IIsi, which version of Powerprint do I need? 3) If I had
