+1 for an easily-accessible storage solution. I've looked for 7+
months for a SCSI card so I can buy a SCSI CDROM drive so I can get
all this ][ software on my Windoze machine to a CDR so I can load up
my IIGS's hard drive. That means I need
   a. To hold out for a SCSI card or
   b. a USB card, something simple that "just works" to support Thumb
drives

Networking is not as much of a necessity for me.


And the original poster didn't mention it, but a IIGS accellerator
would be a huge benefit - they're scarcer than SCSI cards... Anyway, a
IIGS at least 10MHz makes System 6.0 a "joy" to use.

Mt $.02 (again).
