The Mac LC seems to have two floppy disk insertion slots in the front of
its case.  Is anyone out there using or seen a Mac LC with two internal
floppy disk drives?  (Presumably such a system would be obtained by
removing the 3.5" hard disk drive that Apple sells with LC systems and
replacing it with a 3.5" floppy disk drive.)

I'm interested in such a configuration because I don't like hardwired
internal hard disk drive -- it makes it difficult (or at least less
easy) to distinguish between software and hardware problems, and noisy
big external hard disk drives can be placed far away from the console.
I think the length limit of SCSI is around 9 meters.  I have had no
problems using my 10 foot SCSI entension cable with Macintosh systems,
anyway.

Thanks,

Gary
