This is debatable. Saul Brody came out to San Francisco last year and we
upgraded his Outbound. We took out the stock drive and popped a 2gb drive
in. It was recognized... no problem. I then added 4 4mb Simms to it and it
seemed to take those fine as well. I reported this to Tom at Applefritter,
and he requested pics. Saul had left for Philly already so I could net get
photo's and he has no digital camera or means of scanning a print photo. All
I can say is that I have done it. I am more than willing to mess with mine
if anyone wants to send me a 2gb HD and Simms. I am preparing for a move
around x-mas, and have sold most of my non collectible Mac stuff to slim
down.

You are a member of a VERY small society. Not many of us *have* Outbounds.
Saul Brody, Ken Santucci (semi-functional) and myself are the only others
that have them on this list AFAIK (besides yourself).
