As far as I know, it isn't available yet, but check your University computer store. This system may be bundled with the IIe card as well, since that is the purpose of the 2 floppy systems. Now for the big question I'd like to ask: Why bother? Street price (Not to mention educational pricing...) is $2,200 today for: Mac LC 2/40 (kbd, mouse, microphone) Nec MultiSync 14" monitor, cable This is a plug and play 16-color Mac system. In very short order you will realize that you will need a HD for your Macintosh anyway. In this case, it is cheaper to buy it with the machine IMHO. Happy hunting! I hope you get what you want. -Russ -- Russ Donnan, (214) 497-4778, russ@convex.com Convex Computer Corporation, 3000 Waterview Parkway, Richardson, TX "vi: the look-and-feel of Hollerith cards, but without the added bulk!"
