But IIc drives are even rarer (IIe and IIGS drives require slots).  I say it
is the law of the jungle.  Mac users have screwed us over enough.  If
Dr. Buggie can find a way to turn Mac drives into IIc drives, more power
to him.  Long live Apple IIc!

For me, I like to hack cases and peripherals.  If such a Mac drive
ever comes into my posession, I WILL convert it to SCSI.  ;-)  Maybe
even put a speaker in it and turn it into a bookshelf speaker case.
Forget the Mac users!
