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? -- ---- You just survived another load of gross exaggerations from ------- Ian Feldman, the ASCII hacker / "I work to live, not the ---------- ianf@nada.kth.se / ianf@sekth.bitnet / other way around" ------------- ianf%nada.kth.se@uunet.uu.net / uunet!nada.kth.se!ianf
