The same afternoon, I came across a ][c, with PS, in an apple-branded soft
case. I was pretty excited to see the PS, as the ][c+ was bare, nothing but

trying it out that I realized my error... :)

That's what I was afraid of. If I had some software, I'd try the pad to my
sun-whatever optical. You wouldn't happen to know if there's any built-in
goodies, would you?
