Here are several questions for the net, any suggestions will be
appreciated.
1. I am getting tired of the noise of my home-brewed 40MB hard drive.
Since the noise is the combination of the drive, case, and fan, there
is really little I can do except to move it far away from my desk.
My question is can I use a regular 25pin cable as an extension cable
from my Plus to the SCSI system cable?
2. What's the best way to take good care of a hard drive, leave it on all
the time or switch it on/off whenever you want to?
3. What is the best way to expand the Mac Plus memory? I really hate to
waste the 1M already on my Plus, but the current price of 1M SIMM is
outrageous.

Please reply to me by e-mail.
Thanks in advance.
