I too was in the same situation as the original poster on the subject of
hard disks for the //c.  Last November I bought a Chinook 20c which has been
running ever since 24hrs/day without a hitch.  At $750 for a 20 Mb drive
the price is high but when you look at a 20Mb drive for a Mac and add on
the cost of the SCSI-> SmartPort interface, it's really not that high.  What
I need now is a higher capacity drive that supports partitioning.
   About two years ago I got pamphlets from a company called CMC Systems which
has a SCSI interface for the //c.  It was about the same size as a Hayes
external modem and supported up to seven devices including other Apple II's
_and_ Macs.  Thus a large hard drive was sharable between two machines.
Unfortunately at the time I was a starving college student and couldn't
afford the thing and last time I tried to call them all I got was a
confused "Hello?"  Has anyone ever head of this thing?  Better yet, have one?
