Definitely the SCSI and as much memory as your wallet (or spouse)
will allow. Once you start using MultiFinder, you'll want to run
everything under it [and find that you are a *lot* more productive].
All of the ROM patches that you'll require for System 7 [RSN :-)]
need memory. Also, there are a *lot* of nice inits out there ....

Given [I forget]'s Law (memory requirement/usage for a given machine
architecture grows by 1 address bit every 18 months), Macs should be
at 2 meg to be productive with current software, 4 meg by 1990.
