How easy/difficult is it to add an internal hard drive and 
memory to a basic Classic system. I have been getting
conflicting answers from dealers, vendors, etc ..

a. Is it true that only a slim (1") hard drive will fit the
   Classic internally. Will the new Quantum LPS drives fit
   the Classic ?? And will the older Quantums NOT fit ??
   Is this true of the SE/30 as well ?

b. Does the Classic require some kind of board for internal
   memory expansion ? Where does this board fit and what 
   is this board called or cost ? I thought that regular
   SIMMS would do the job. Is there a 3rd party board that
   will do the job?

Will appreciate any answers to the above. e-mail to
rmy@trout.cis.ufl.edu 

P.S. In addition to the bare drive, what else is needed to 
install an internal hard drive in the Classic (i.e. cables,
mounting brackets, etc. Is there some place I can get these ?
I already have a drive (Quantum 80S) taken from an external
drive -- I would like to install this in a Classic or in a 
friend's SE/30. Any suggestions for mounting kits ??

Thanks a lot
