It is becoming obvious that 512K is simply not enough for what I'm doing
anymore (sigh... I remember that 8K IMSAI....) and that I have to start
looking at upgrades. My initial thought is to simply upgrade to a Mac+,
since that gives me a clear upgrade path into the beyond and whatever
comes next (assuming, of course, that there is an upgrade...). I am still
interested in third party upgrades, though, if they meet the following
requirements:
o The company needs to have a good track record -- garage shops
need not apply. Too many third party houses have disappeared for
my tastes, I can't afford to be without my machine while people
fingerpoint at a failed upgrade.
o There has to be a SCSI port (or option to add SCSI) as part of the
upgrade. My paradise 10 is nice, but it isn't forever.
o The cost of the upgrade (1M+SCSI+install) has to be cost effective
compared to going to Apple and getting it done 'right.'
Now, this has been covered a few times before, but I don't have my notes on
it. Besides, the third party market has changed markedly in the last six
months, thanks to the growing acceptance of the Mac+ (another reason to byte
the bullet, I guess).
So, if you can comment on the upgrade situation, please MAIL me your
comments. Don't post to the net, I'll summarize anything I get after all is
said and done.
