Some time ago i was in a discussion on internal hard disks for mac plus's, which i finally got around to building. These kits have now been perfected with the advent of the Quantum and Connor LPS type hard disks. I thought up the idea and had a local crowd manufacture the boards and brackets, but to achive the quality *i wanted*, it cost a little more than i expected. I am hoping that the prices will be drastically reduced once manufacture cost has been met. As you may figure, Aussie is no cheasp hi tech place to build. anyway... Basically the kit enables you to install either a 52Mb,105Mb or 210Mb hard disk INSIDE a Mac Plus, without ANY soldering or drilling. It also poses no risk to the power suppy, as a FAN is included and is mounted inside the unit similar to how it is mounted inside a Mac Classic. The drive also draws no more than what an accelerator card would (if you plan on having both send me the power spec's and i will send back a report on that configuration) The kits work exceptionally well and I was happy to put the time and research in to the project. My main aim was a simple, yet reliable plug in system. Anyway, if you would like to buy one, you may. I have supplied a price list. ***** NOTE: THESE PRICES ARE IN AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS - NOT US - ^^^^^^^^^^ D i Macintosh Plus System 7 Enhancement Kits.
