	Maybe someone with a Mac II internal 80 Meg hard disk can
help me out here. I would like to get a bigger hard disk for my 
Mac II. I currently have the 40Meg internal disk shipped with my 
II. 

	I have an ad here for a Quantum Q280 for $495. I need
to know if this is the same as the disk shipped with Mac II
from the factory.

	I am only concerned with this since if it is indeed the same,
I should be able to use Apple's HD Setup program to format the disk,
right? I am just paranoid since I have had a lot of trouble in the 
past getting home-made disks formatted.

	Also, what is a practial upper bound on hard disk size for
Macs today? I know that the desktop file blows up around 190K or so.
Does anyone know what is the largest practical disk size? If I can
get away with it, I'd like to go beyond 80megs...

Thanks
