Can anyone answer the following question:

Is it possible to add an additional internal harddisk to a Macintosh II ?


The system:  Macintosh II
             5 MB memory
	     Apple 8-bit video-card
             internal 40-MB harddisk (5 1/4")

The harddisk: 3.5" half-height LaCie drive (80 or 105 MB)


The following answers I received sofar:

- The supplier told me that it is posible. They can supply the disk with the
  necessary cable and connection-set. The two disks will both be connected to
  the internal SCSI-connector. A similar solution will be used for the
  power cable.

- Apple-Computers told me that it is not possible. The internal SCSI-interface
  does not support more than one harddisk. (So there is a difference between
  the internal and external SCSI-connector. Is the internal one not a true
  SCSI interface?)


Has anyone managed to get a second harddisk in his/her Macintosh II?
Or who can tell me more about the problem?
