	But one of my points was: How can you have a hard drive that's
only usable on a Mac? I gave a description of an internal hard drive that'd
only work on an Apple II (without major major hacking and a different
controller)...

	But since virtually all Macs (since what, the Plus or SE?!) use
SCSI, I -believe- there's no such thing as a Mac only hard drive. Since
even with an "internal" Mac drive you can easily scrounge up a case and
a power supply.. (Certainly nothing close to "major major hacking" I 
say would be involved in making a Vulcan or a CirTech drive_on_a_card work
on another computer).
