That sounds intriguing, since >I've got a copy of Executor (a nod to all the nice folks at ARDI, especially >Cliff Matthews). > Several of the Powerbook models have the abillity to appeare as a Mac Disk drive (100, 160, 180 and Duos spring to mind). You should be able to plug one of those units into a power'd down NeXT. The Powerbook will show up as a Mac hard drive in the workspace when you power up and log back in. I know of at least one person that does this on a regular basis. I don't think the 140, or 170 has this capabillity. -- Joe Freeman jfreem@uncecs.edu jfreeman@next.com (NeXT Mail) The opinions espressed here are my own and are not shared by my employer or anyone else I know of.
