Mac Plus purchase questions

I've been considering the purchase of a Macintosh on a limited budget, and I
I have a few questions.  In particular I would welcome speculation on whether
it is wise to purchase a Mac Plus at this time; I've heard rumors to the
effect that it will be phased out.  Perhaps when that happens there may be
a few sales on them, or are they as low as they are likely to go?  I also
read in a MacWorld issue a couple months old that Apple is working on a low-
cost Mac, perhaps this summer?

I'm also wondering if can re-use my printer and hard disk subsystem from an
old computer.

The hard disk is a 10 meg with a SCSI board interface. Does anyone know of a
source that could sell me software to allow a Mac Plus to use this disk?  I
think the hard part is getting the disk initialized, no?

The printer is an Okidata Microline 92.  Do third-party vendors of printer
drivers exist for these?

Thanks in advance.  E-mail is preferred, to the address below, since the
postings pile up in this newsgroup.  I'll summarize good rumors to the net,
preserving the author's anonymity if desired.
