It works OK, but the installation program that comes with it is copy protected. I think you need version 2.5 (or whatever's current), because older versions don't work with Chooser. JetStart worked OK with the Mac II, also. As far as screen savers go, the Moving Lines FKey works just fine, but it's not automatic. Best one I've seen so far is Pyro!, which comes bundled with Suitcase.
