Is this a correction or a reiteration of the above point?
'(as in the Mac and IIgs)' implies that they used in 8530 SCC, and you
usually don't hear 6551 and SCC in the same sentence.  There's probably
still no AppleTalk support for the IIc, since the existence of such
seems to require another processor on the II series.

Should I buy a IIc+?  Wait for the Laptop Mac?  both?
