Hello,
 
   I just installed a MacBottom HD 144 (INTERNAL Hard disk) for my Mac II.  It
was very simple.  Place drive in place, mount with 2 screws and plug power and
SCSI cables in.  The SCSI cable is kind of hard to plug in, due to it's 
position in the box.  I had to take out the tray holding the floppy drives to
connect the cable.  This required removing 4 screws, plugging in the cables,
then putting the screws back.
 
   The drive MUST be set to SCSI unit 0  (meaning-leave the jumper out!) or
devices on the external SCSI bus will not be seen.  PCPC says this is an
Apple 'feature' allowing a user to 'turn off' the external bus for debugging
a flakey drive.  I will buy that.
 
   Anyway I plugged it in, and it booted right up. I ran Disktimer II on it and
the numbers were 40/42/12.  Jasmine 80, for comparison was 52/59/19.  The drive
comes with a 1:1 interleave factor, so is very fast.
