Responding to the following:

"Hmmm. The Mac IIci that I'm using here doesn't have Disk DMA.  When I need
something off a floppy or my hard drive everything else I'm doing stops.  The
builtin 256 color graphics slow to a crawl and my network access stops
completely."

And why do you think that is? Try installing a video card to control the
monitor and you'll see about a three-fold improvement! The Mac IIci's 
built-in video is S-L-O-W, so why are you using it? It was meant only for
those without the money for a video card, although if you don't have cash
what are you doing with a IIci anyway?
