||
||  Here is some clarifying information on System 7.5 and MacLinkPlus
|| translators Murray put together at my request.  Feel free to reply
|| to this post if you have questions.  PUK == Personal Upgrade Kit.
||


MacLinkPlus  translators from Dataviz  is a retail   3rd party product
that Apple is bundling for a limited time with the retail 7.5 Personal
Upgrade Kit or PUK. It is not 'part' of System 7.5.  Customers who buy
7.5 or upgrade from a previous System 7.1 or 7Pro purchase should also
receive  MacLinkPlus translators with  their upgrade.  Floppy disk 7.5
Puks  have a   separate  MacLinkPlus disk,   CD-ROM Puks  will    have
MacLinkPlus  on  the  CD, and both  come with  a registration card and
serial number.

MacLinkPlus translators from Dataviz are also bundled  with some Apple
CPUs but it depends  on the bundle, check the packing list.  Customers
who buy  a CPU  with 7.1  and then upgrade  to  7.5 using  the  CPU to
qualify for the upgrade, will NOT receive MacLinkPlus translators from
Dataviz.

Apple  provides  technical  support for   MacLinkPlus translators from
Dataviz  if  they came with 7.5.  Entitled  customers  should  contact
Dataviz for fulfillment  issues like missing the MacLinkPlus  disk  or
registration card.
