Hi, Joe!

Nice idea. As the laptop HDD is much smaller than an standar one, you probably won't 
run in the problems of fitting two disk drives and an hard drive inside and SE(/30) 
case.

System 7.5.5. Posibly System 7.5.3 will do the trick, but I'm not 100% sure.

You do need an SCSI-to-IDE adapter, that's obvious. But, AFAIK there are only external 
ones - I don't think that there are much people that will be wanting to put an IDE 
drive inside a computer with a built-in SCSI controller... Yes, you are trying to do 
that, but how
many strange things do the members of this list do just for the fun? I wish you good 
luck with your project.
