With GCR reading Mac disks directly at 1:1 or faster Mac speed,
a hard drive will not be a necessity.  The reason a hard drive is often
mentioned is because Spectre reads the HD so fast that it results
in speeds that are truely amazing, and causes Spectre to run at
faster speeds than a stock Mac Plus or SE!

But by all means- get a HD as soon as possible - once you have
one you will never know how you lived without it and prices for
new 20 meggers is starting to flirt with the below $500 range and
good used ones can be had for far less.
