Hi all....

	A friend of mine has a Mac 512 sitting around collecting dust. I
have been hunting around for a cheapo Mac to do some writing. I keep 
fairly well informed through the Mac rags, some Apple friends, and reading
here but I'm still a bit fuzzy on what I can 'eke out of a 512 these days.
	A Plus upgrade is out since it brings the prices up to what I can
get a new Plus for (gotta love that Apple upgrade plan :). Barring that,
what can/cannot be done?

	o Memory upgrades?
	o What is the most recent system it can handle?
	o Will the latest in MacWrite, MacDraw, etc work?
	o How about printers, does it deal with the IW II?
	o anything else I should ponder?

Thanks

Mike Powers
