Any 50-pin Narrow SCSI hard drive will drop straight in. SCSI sometimes requires a bit of Voodoo trickery to get working, but as long as the ID is not set to '7' (usually they are set to '0' on single drive Macs) and the drive is terminated (usually a jumper or a pair of resistor packs) then it will work OK provided the drive itself is working. The LCIII is a fairly robust machine generally speaking, if not the fastest on the planet. I would recommend you try and acquire a copy of System 7.1 on floppy disk as well as appropriate age copies of Claris Works (1.0 to 3.0 should run fine) or similar and it'll do great as a typewriter. -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
