A less expensive way, if you have access to some cheap PC monitors (or have some good
ones on hand), is to get a Mac-VGA adapter box, like the one Omnimac sells. Macvizion
has these (macvizion.com). That will let you use your Mac on a lot of PC monitors, but
not all of them. I personally can

Sounds good, but for the cost of the 550 mobo and a 68040 chip at 33mhz or
higher, you could buy two accelerators. Those are really a better buy unless

Try changing the order of the devices in the chain, maybe that'll help. You
can also connect a 5.25 floppy drive to your Macintosh, and then read the
disks that way (you will probably need System 7.5.3 though, to read the disk
format.)

break the SCSI Chain and possibly damage the SCSI devices, or at least make them
