Aha!  This is the response I was looking for, one way or the other.  I really
appreciate the information.  I am only sorry that you were not able to have
the information you gave me to avoid getting burned.

Notwithstanding the lack of A/UX compatibility, how do you like the
Dove '030?  (Have you returned it, or are you still using it?)  MacWorld,
in their recent comparison of third-party upgrades said it wasn't worth
the bucks to upgrade a Mac II to an '030.  Do you agree or disagree?

Thanks again,
