A while back I was given a mac plus and an external scsi drive - a 20Mb, which was huge... it looked larger than 5.25" in width, and clattered away like crazy!. Unfortunately it was dead - it'd boot, have an error in various places, and was pretty much toasted. I pulled the top off to check out the -huge- platters, and in a fit of curiosity... plugged it back into the plus. It booted just the same, errors and all, happily exposed to the open air. That was good for a giggle :). Then I got over it, tossed the drive and popped a smaller 500mb scsi in =) dana (this particular post was meant to be meaningless) -- http://www.danamania.com -- -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
