DON'T DO IT!!!!!

Example: a couple of years ago, when I started at NASA/LaRC, we had about a 
dozen Mac 512K machines, with HyperDrive 10's in them. 

We had an 80 percent failure rate.


The HyperDrive system software is hacked. Badly. Whenever a revision to the 
Apple system software comes out, the HyperDrive software breaks, usually in a 
way that requires the hard disk to be reformatted.

You can spend the same money on a good external SCSI drive for the Mac Plus (I 
use a Data Frame XP20) and get a faster, safer, and more reliable disk drive.
