Yo netters,
One of my profs is interested in converting his MacII into a IIfx. I want 
to know what Apple dealers on campus at other Univs are charging for a 
IIfx motherboard swap. Also, how much extra is the SuperDrive (1.44M) and 
does the dealer's price include any rebate on the old MacII motherboard ?

It seems there was an article in a recent MacWeek on design flaws in the 
IIfx. If that report is correct, is it worth going on this upgrade trip in 
the first place ? Thanks in advance for any pointers.
