OK, but what to do with the system that takes an ST-506 interface drive? I just
need to know if I can substitute, say, an ST-251, and how to do the low-level

What are your killer apps to make it worthwhile?
I figured maybe I could at least use it for a web browser in my bedroom or
something, since it's mostly complete and working. So so far it looks like
I need this special hard drive adapter. Is ethernet doable? If I upgrade
the RAM what kind do I need? (It's a 540, not a 1040.)
