First things first: forget about the 6.0.3 for a Plus.  Not even
   a ``vanilla'' MacII is fully pleased with a 6.0.3 installed.  This
   might be due to third-party inits that *are* compatible with the
   newest 68020 systems but, alas, not entirely with the 68030 Macintosh
   IIx and IIcx that the 6.0.3 is intended for.  In a couple of days
   Apple's gonna introduce the 6.0.4 system that is required for the
   Mac Laptop... are you going to stick it in your Plus too, just to
   have ``the latest''?  Human, thy name is vanity.... ;-)

Secondly: don't even think of replacing your present 4.1 system/ non-SCSI
   HyperDrive combo (that is running) with anything newer than system 4.3.
   Even better still: leave it alone, don't upgrade at all.  It runs now
   so why mess up a working non-standard-component system?
