I think a built in SCSI port would be much more usefull if I had a choice
between it and a VOC. GS/OS like the Mac OS is very disk intensive and is
really a pain to operate without a hard disk. I survived with two 3.5" disks
for a while, but it is so much better on a hard disk. There just isn't room
for a full system on an 800k disk. Maybe if Apple produced a Smartport
compatible 1.44 MB 3.5" drive and software drivers the SCSI port wouldn't
be as neccissary.
