I'm in Wisconsin this week, but I have a Mac Plus (4M RAM, 20 MB hard  
drive) that can be networked so let me know if you can't find one and  
perhaps we can use it. The other option is to find someone with a  
Powerbook running the OS9 emulator and you can find copies of  
MacWrite, Word, etc. from that time period on the net that will work  
on it. The trick then is getting a floppy drive that will read the  
disks.
