Nice... I want one, but can never find one at anything resembling a
"realistic" price. Those things hold their value almost as bad as a
TRS-80 Model 100.

Me, no, but I think someone else mentioned MacCrypt. Also, lok for a site
run by a guy named Jag.

One other thought, check the liks off the Low End Mac site

Okay, for TCP, you want a copy of Apple's MacTCP (last version was 2.0.6).
For a PPP dialer, you want MacPPP, an older freeware product.

Three options on the web browser:

        1. MacWeb (last version was 2.something)
        2. NCSA Mosaic 1.X (2.x is not compatible)
        3. MacLynx (text only)

MacLynx is the closest to state-of-the art (i.e., tables, frames).

The drive is SCSI, just an odd pinout. Try MicroMac (http://www.micromac.com)
for a cable to use a regular drive. There's a pinout floating around on
the Web, if you prefer to roll your own.
