This is akin to nubus Pmac owners wanting a card to do USB. Since PCI Pmacs
are in the low three digits (I got a mint 8500/180 176/2gig/8x CD box for
$500 back in November) there is zero chance of ever seeing a nubus PCI card.
I also got a 7100 stripper box for $50 last December. I'm not worried about
putting USB in it. But I could spend $40 for a PCI card for the 8500.

Since IIgses can be found in dumpsters etc nowadays, who would consider
building a IIc compatible hard disk again? Makes no sense. People who don't
want to stay even in the current half decade get left behind.

That said, I'm all set since I have my perfect condition, one owner Chinook
CT-20c circa '89 sitting here. Man, $600 in '89 dollars. What was I thinking?
