I believe you have confused street and list prices on those drives.

And Conner makes the very dynamite CP-3200, when you can find it.

I would recommend against installing ANY internal drive in a Mac Plus.
Why?  Well, General Computer had to change their name to GCC
Technologies over the system-death flap caused by the original, internal
HyperDrive.  The Plus just ain't designed for it, which cannot be said
of the SE or later.

The Plus's power supply is notorious in its instability (talk to
Pre-Owned Electronics about this--they sell an update kit), even among
Mac supplies [students of NetNews who don't regularly 'n' over my
postings {I think there are two of you--hi, Stephan 'n' Dave} will
remember that I don't particularly like ANY of the Mac power supplies
due to their poor construction].

In a word: Don't.

If you need a case, and cannot find one, E-Mail me and I'll give you a
pointer or two.
