	   But, some of us have ancient //Cs, and if we where to by a

   tell (an I may be wrong) the only way to get this is to by the disk

I received an upgrade when I bought a modem (non-apple).  I would be
wary when doing this.  I actually got two upgrades.  The first time I
got a refurbished motherboard which was broken (would not boot a
disk).  The second time ( I went to a different place), I also got a
refurbished board, but this time it worked.   It kind of worries me
not knowing the history of this particular motherboard, but it drives
a Unidisk which is important to me.   Just be careful... You can't be
sure of what you're getting..
