This may be a dumb question, but I'm probably not the only one wondering:

        What exactly is a 5x series computer?


>Heyas,

>Just a few minor items for your consideration:
>
>1) For those of you that have Mac OS 8.6 on any of your school 5x
>series computers, there is a network issue to be aware of. 8.6 is
>kinda touchy about it's network connection. If the ethernet cable is
>not connected at boot up or the network is down, when network
>connectivity is regained the Mac fails to recognize the restoration.
>
>Sometimes just restarting is enough. Sometimes you have to trash a
>couple of prefs. Go to system folder/preferences and toss the
>appletalk preferences and the tcp/ip preferences. Then, WITHOUT
>emptying the trash, restart the computer. When it is back up, set
>the appletalk and tcp/ip setings to their norm. You can also empty
>the trash then.
>
>This also works with 9.1 and 9.2.2 network connection to restore
>connectivity. You can use it if you feel everything else is ok. Just
>be sure to configure the control panels first before deciding it
>didn't work.

>2) Rennaisance Apps - This affects very few of you, but if you're
>using 8.6 or 9.1 with math for facts, you may get an error message
>saying that the help viewer is not a high enough version. I asked
>Jeff Rossi to look into this and he found an updater to fix this.
>You can find this updater at:
>
>//g4is/labtechs/mac/misc/help viewer installer
>
>This does not affect PCs and does not affect 9.2.2
>
>3) Network Asst
>
>If you're using network assistant to transfer files and you
>experience recurring problems, it may be that the mac you're
>transferring to has a fragmented hard drive in excess of what NA is
>capable of dealing with
>
>4) Last but definitely not least, I want to thank Deb Morin and
>Debbie Maikis for their invaluable help in working compatibility
>issues with OS 8.6. Without their contributions I don't think it
>would've worked out. God knows I was ready to give up
