I'm considering buying a NeXTstation and I've got a couple of questions First, a few facts, I'm looking at a mono NeXTstation with a 105 HD and 8 megs of RAM, I'm considering adding a external HD. 1) What happens if the internal HD looses it's ability to boot for whatever reason? Can I boot from a 2.88 floppy? 2) How much space is left on the 105 HD to work with? How about the 340 HD? 3) Is there an FTP site around that has PD NeXT apps? I seem to remember seeing one somewhere out on the west coast, but I can't remember exactly where. 4) Should I expect any problems with adding a 3rd party drive (like a Conner or Maxtor)? 5) Will any external modem work with it or do I need a modem that could work with a mac? 6) What exactly is a SLIP connection? I've heard that you can FTP to a machine over a modem, is this correct? Please email any answers or post if you think there is enough interest, I'll post a summary if i get some requests for it. Thanks for any help! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "An' Here I go again on my own | Jeff Cooper Going down the only road I've ever known | cooper@plains.nodak.edu Like a drifter, born to walk alone | Cos I know what it means | USnail address: To walk along the lonely street of dreams" | 1444 32nd St. SW, Apt 318 | Fargo, ND 58103 Whitesnake - "Here I Go Again" | (701)235-6495 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
