Hi there,
	In Radio-Electronics (Jan '91) they had an article on how to build
	a mac compatible computer.  It is basically a macintosh in an IBM
	case.
	
	It requires an original motherboard (from Apple 128K, 512K, 512KE,
	Plus, SE, or SE/30), IBM pc power supply, a Mac mouse or track ball,
	Mac keyboard, a special 14 inch mono monitor with horizontal frequency
	of 22.5 kHz (which doesn't work with clones), and a special power/
	video interface, a pc clone case which will need modification, and a
	mac floppy.

	If anyone is interested, I have all details.  Just email me if you 
	want them....RE claims the price for this project will run around
	$400 + the price of the motherboard.

	My questions are:
		1-Will any SCSI hard drive work with the SE motherboard?
		2-Will the FDHD drive work in the SE motherboard as a 
		  replacement for the standard 800K floppy?
		3-Can a color monitor be used with the SE via add-on cards?

	I will appreciate any replys...and answer any requests for the 'plans'.
