*sigh*. Those were the _original_ Mac boxes. However, with the Mac II and
later, the Mac had complete plug-and-play capability with NuBus and all
that, as well as ADB, their various network and printer connections, and
so on, which, with the exception of the Imagewriter, were plug-and-play.
(And the Mac II came out long before Microchannel was even a gleam in
IBM's eye.)
