Send it here. I also procured another Mac Plus today. This one came with a Cutting Edge floppy drive, and a non-working GIG Box external hard disk. The hard disk was good, but it's power supply wasn't. So, I took the drive out of the bad case and ran it off another drive case and power supply. Much to my delight, I finally have a working version of Arkanoid, a favorite of mine from a long time back. And, another Plus with two good floppy drives.
