I have just re-read my email and it may be a bit miss-leading :) I should have said it has the same foot-print as the Mac Plus, and it's about 8cm high. The Mac Plus sits on top of the hard disk. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Nixon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 August 2004 14:49 To: Compact Macs Subject: Re: Tool for opening a Mac Plus & external hard disk question... Hi Andrew, I am also looking for a long T-15 screwdriver, since I found a lot of Plusses in a dumpster. I'm not sure where to get the special tool, but any standard T-15 Screwdriver long enough will work - it doesn't have to be Mac Plus Specific. I would maybe try a hardware store? >The system also came with a non-apple 40Gb hard disk > that is physically the > same size as Mac Plus. Wow! That's big! I've actually never seen a hard drive of that type before. Could you post the name/manufacturer?
