I would prefer 80 Mbytes to 20 (who wouldn't) but, being a poor graduate student, that depends on price. My questions are these: What type of drive (manufacturer and model number) does Apple sell for the 20 Meg upgrade? for 80 Meg? Does it have to be a 3.25 inch half-height? Who sells these drives and for how much? What additional mounting brackets, cables, etc. are required? Would I be better off just buying a Jasmine or some other external drive? I am not afraid of opening up my Mac (I piggy-backed ram-chips to bring my original 128k Mac up to 1 Meg. After that any other surgery is minor.) Thanks in advance David Palmer palmer@tybalt.caltech.edu "The nice thing about the Intel family is that it retains upward compatability. There are many streetlights out there which would be obsolete if the 4004 could not be replaced by a 80386 with an optional floating point coprocessor"
