I owned a disk drive made by General Computer that went into a Mac Plus.
This is not something that I'd recommend to anyone. There are a lot of
problems with putting anything like a disk drive inside a Plus. The fact
that there is isn't an internal SCSI connector is minor. GCC used to
put a seperate power supply and fan inside their units. The biggest problem
is with the Plus analog board. It really wasn't designed to supply this extra
power. The addition of a seperate power supply and a hard disk also will
cause extra heating which will shorten the life of all of the electronics.
The longest period of time my internal hyperdrive went without repair was one
year. Ane two of the three repairs were Analog Board swaps!
