You posted this question to the wrong newsgroup. The Apple II is a
computer family which Apple made from 1977 to 1993. The Mac Pro is not
an Apple II. It is a Macintosh.

The correct newsgroups for Macintosh questions are in the comp.sys.mac
hierarchy. I've crossposted this to comp.sys.mac.hardware.misc (seems
most appropriate) and set followups there. You can read my detailed
reply there.
