I know that this may be difficult to answer, but here goes.

I have an Amiga 1000, and would like to get a hard drive for it--I know that
it would be better to just save and get a 2000, but I've already invested
a great deal of money in memory, etc., and I get a LOT of use from this system.
I have the opportunity to purchase a cheap 60MB hard-drive, which is
"designed for use with a Macintosh".  It has a SCSI cable (external drive),
but I don't want to buy it & end up with a $400 paperweight.  Can a "mac"
Harddrive be used on an Amiga1000?

My second question is this:  Anyone have a SCSI card for an old 1000 which they
need to sell?  Any ideas where I might still get one--other than from CBM? Any
help on this would be GREATLY appreciated!!  Also, am I correct in my
assumption that SCSI cards for the 1000 plug into the right-side bus slot on
the Amiga?  (Gosh I hope so, since the interior of the case is already crammed
with stuff I keep adding on....)

Thanks to all in advance!!
