  Even I've seen this 1.5 million times on the net....
so bear with me.

  I own a MacSE w/ two internal floppies, and now my top drive
is broken!  I'd rather not pay around $200 for another internal
floppy and am entertaining thoughts of replacing it with a 20meg internal
hard drive.  Suggestions, info, traps I should be wary of etc...
would be greatly appreciated from you folks.

  Wasn't there some HD review file that was being passed around
many moons ok?  Email is preferred, but who the h*ll cares if you
post, we may help someone else also.   :-)

 Any info is good info.....who belives those sales-types at
the store??  I don't trust 'em in this town.  (champaign, IL)
Thanx.
