That sounds great, where are the swap meets you're talking about?

I started with a Mac Plus. I'm thinking of upgrading the memory in these

Do those SCSI ethernet adapters work with Open Transport or would I be
limited to classic networking?

Actually I'm thinking of one for my Mac Plus, which can't use OT anyway.
