Classic mac fun (and some questions)

[Roger Merchberger]

Rumor has it that Brian Lanning may have mentioned these words:

>enclosure?  Do these even exist?  What about zip/jaz/syquest drives?

The only ones I know of were used in DEC machines, it was a standard floppy 
drive mounted into a "bridge board" which endowed the lowly floppy with 
"Super SCSI Powers!" ;-)

They're tough to find (well, maybe not _around here_) and I do not know if 
they supported booting from them; but they do exist.

In times past, I owned SCSI Zip drives, one each internal & external. Not 
sure if I even still have them; but they certainly exist and might be easy 
(if not cheap) to acquire thru ePay. I had kept the internal one for one of 
my CoCos "just in case" I acquired a SCSI card for it, but now that I have 
IDE, I'm torn whether to set it up with an available IDE zip drive I have, 
setup an IDE Castlewood Orb for that purpose, or inform my wife that I 
"Really Need[TM]" an upgrade for a my Nikon D70, so I could use my 1G 
compact flash cards currently allocated to that task for the CoCo.

Hope this helps,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
