Who ever intended for a phonebook puter to run linux? :) It took a kernal
hack just to get the 9" screen to work. :)
I also love the analogue board the SE's have. Mine has a broken solder
joint. Sometimes it gets hot so I have to whack it real hard on the side
for it to turn on again. :)

New! We got the thing 5 years ago! :) The mail server for
gussie.alaska.net is NetBSD. Mac II. it has da 68881. 68020 and a hefty
8MB in 1MB 30pin SIMMS. :)
The mud server is a 486 DX 33 which is just as fast as the 68020. :)
I don't have an advanced MMU in the mac II. I can't have 1.4MB disks! :)
Who ever uses disks though?
