emulatorII-list

1) Upgrades have a small daughterboard near the RS422 connector (inside)
2) The parts are still (just) available, and a small PCB can be made out of
veroboard or one custom built.
3) Look for OS3.1 and the latest EPROM's
4) Yes old Macs will go Interent, just ethernet it in.
5) 500 sample banks is 250MB, plenty of small SCSI drives will hold this.
6) RAM makes no difference after 512KB.

I've been going through the archives (and I've checked out the compatibility
list) but still unclear on a couple of things. I Apologize if these topics
have been covered. 

1) How can one tell if a rev 0 EII has been upgraded to the RS-422
interface? If not, how complicated is it to do this? Are the necessary parts
still obtainable?

2) Is there anything else to look out for with a rev 0?

3) Has anyone succeeded in getting one of these old Macs on the internet? Is
ethernet even an option for them or would it have to be dial up?

4) How much drive space do you need to hold say a 500 disk EII library? Is
it possible to replace these old Mac drives? I'd imagine a 15-20 year old HD
has to be pretty prone to failure.

5) How much of a factor is ram for performance? I'd like to get something
compact/all-in-one, like a Color Classic or a Powerbook, but the ram configs
I'm seeing for those in the compatibility list all seem much lower.

Thanks,
Jeremy - Hoping to be the proud owner of a rev 0 very soon.
