I have a Mac 512KE which we upgraded to 1 meg a while back using a Dove
MacSnap kit.  We _really_ want to get a hard drive for this machine, but
the problem seems to be a lack of a SCSI port.  There are upgrades for
little Macs available that give a SCSI port, but they probably wouldn't
fit, since the MacSnap's already sitting on top of the motherboard.  I'm
looking for solutions.  Possibilities seem to be:

1.  Somehow removing the MacSnap & getting a new upgrade
2.  Upgrading the MacSnap upgrade to include a SCSI port
3.  Attaching a hard disk without a SCSI port (???)
4.  Wail in dispair.

I hope it doesn't come to 4.  :-)
