Any Apple users out there care to help ? This unit was apparently part
of a school network , wants to connect to a termunal server - but will
function independently , if slowly . Part of that will be cure by adding
more RAM , 512 Mb ain't near enough . Not planning on putting money into
it until I know if it can be reset though .

There are two mac newsgroups, comp.sys.mac.system , comp.sys.mac.apps,
and comp.sys.mac.hardware.misc. Hardware is very quiet and one of the
ot her two is better than the other, but they were very helpful to me
when my friend died and I had to get some of his data off his computer.

That sounds like THREE groups?
