Summary: another apple mistake (half-ht drives)

Since there is LOTS of space inside the mac (and the mac+) drive
bracket, WHY didn't Apple come up with an alternate front panel
so you could put TWO of the half-height 800K drives internally?

The only reason I can think of is that they love selling those $500
external drives, and don't give a #$% about convenience, desk space,
and the like.

By the way, the service spare price for a double sided Sony is around $325.
Anyone know where to buy them at a more reasonable price?  I understand
that you can upgrade your 400K external for the price of an 800K
drive and a few drilled holes.

Does the IWM has the ability to deal with more than 2 floppies?  It obviouly
can deal with daisy chained HD20s; how can you daisy chain floppies?
[If you wanted to... the software might get a little strange...]
