Re: the Chinook CT-20c hard drive for the IIc.  Chinook just introduced a 40
meg IIc model, too -- it's even partitionable, and you can daisychain your
UniDisk 3.5's and 5.25 onto it.  Also, Applied Ingenuity showed 20 and 40 meg
internal IIc hard drives at AppleFest.  The hard drive "problem" is not really
a problem for the IIc.

As for the modem port not being able to do true carrier detect... I've heard
that all you need is a properly wired cable.  Then carrier detect can be
implemented.  You have to watch the DTR(?) line insted of the DCD line, but
Applied Engineering's new EasyLink (oooops, I mean ReadyLink!) has an option
to do just that -- allowing true carrier detect on the IIc.
