Commodore could leave the hard drive out of the A500C, but the SCSI interface should still there as standard hardware so that owners could upgrade to hard drives very easily. This is what Apple is doing with the MAC Classic, and if this accounts for even a fraction of the Classic's success, Commodore should do the same for their entire product line." This is what Apple is doing with the Macintosh Classic? This is nothing new. Every Macintosh since the 512KE (1985?) had built in SCSI. But you may be right about that being a major factor in its success.
