That would be great if you've got it. The rest of the Mac XL is still
setting around. (Honestly, though, I wish it were a Lisa rather than an XL.
:)

As for the parallel cable, I don't know how the internal drive cable was
wired up (:/) but I know that you can plug a straight-through parallel cable
(like the macintosh "scsi" cable) into the back, and connect a profile hard
disk that way.

The funky phone daemon is pretty cool. I used to leave the UnixPC on and
connected to the telephone just so I could use it to put people on hold ;)

I have a 3b2, myself, but it doesn't power on yet. Just sort of sets there.
No idea what's wrong.

He still has the sign on it, I think...
