Well, since the new Macintosh Portable is going to be just another Mac Plus
in a slightly different case and slightly faster, with a much bigger price tag,
I have decided to use a Mac Plus as my portable Macintosh.
What I would like to know is if it is possible to put a 3 1/2" hard disk inside
a Mac Plus. If so, this would make the Mac Plus almost as portable as the
upcomming portable (except it could not be powered by batteries). The questions
that come to mind right now are:
Does the power supply have enough juice to handle the extra load?
Is there room inside the Plus for a hard drive?
How will the SCSI connection be made?
Does one need special brackets?
Is a fan necessary?
Is there a company that might sell an installation kit or something?
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter. If there is any interest, I will
summarize and post the responses to the net.
