DON'T DO IT!!!!! Example: a couple of years ago, when I started at NASA/LaRC, we had about a dozen Mac 512K machines, with HyperDrive 10's in them. We had an 80 percent failure rate. The HyperDrive system software is hacked. Badly. Whenever a revision to the Apple system software comes out, the HyperDrive software breaks, usually in a way that requires the hard disk to be reformatted. You can spend the same money on a good external SCSI drive for the Mac Plus (I use a Data Frame XP20) and get a faster, safer, and more reliable disk drive. --Rich
