Add-on hard disks (for IBMs, say) are cheap since they come with no box
and no power supply.  Those can easily add $75 or more.

Could people who have attached SCSI drives tell us about this added problem?

(Radio Shack sells a surplus unit, originally designed for the Adam,
that gives 5V/1A, -5V/100mA, 12V/300mA.  I don't think that's enough
for any hard disks (?) but it's great for many other things, e.g. that
SECOND megabyte.  And they only ask $5 for it!  Go get a pair :-)
