However, if you got a newer "older" mac it would still use SCSI and you
could probably boot up the drive as the main drive if you wanted.
Examples would be a Performa, Quadra or another LC. If you're hard up
for such a system I may have some that I could spare though it would
take me a while to dig it out of the basement.

Your LC's hard drive will be SCSI; modern Macs use ATA internal
drives, but you can buy an external SCSI case and a FireWire-to-SCSI
adapter. And yes, the modern operating system can access the files on
the old drives OK.
You would be booting up from the native modern drive with its modern
operating system. The old LC drive would appear on the Desktop as an
additional volume.

Hi I would like to post to the list please.
I have a question about an LC III. My dad has one and it stopped
working. He has been told he needs a new motherboard. I was
thinking perhaps I could just take the hard drive from his LC III and
stick it into a newer/faster Apple/Mac computer that I could buy
(perhaps a quadra or something like that). So I guess my question
is, would that even be feasible? Thanks...
