Ahhhh, the emergency external hard drive. That is an excellent suggestion, especially since all Mac's up through the Beige (and excluding the Mac 128, 512 and Duos) have a built-in SCSI port. It's been so long since I've thought in terms of external drives, I had completely forgotten about it. I've been trying to fit everything in one case for a while and donated most of my external drive enclosures to the Goodwill Computer Store. Great idea. Thank you.
