Two more things:

1) The other gotcha with a Mac Portable seems to be the hard drive.
   Although it is SCSI, it is a strange Connor with an unusual connector.
   Plans do exist on the net, though, for how to build an adapter for
   a standard drive.

2) I'm looking for one of these, if anyone (John?) comes across one cheap.
   I keep having people dangle the possibility of getting one under my nose,
   but it never pans out.
