On a Mac SE the performance is at the lowest point of acceptance: 33 %
of a Dorado. On a Mac II you get 102 % which is perfectly good and more than
a sun 3-50.

But personally I definately prefer more-than-one-button mice...

Both versions are image identical. Use kermit, xmodem or IP to transfer
the image. This is true for version 2.3, available now, not for 2.2 where
minor changes were needed for the file system differences.
