You should consider trading your IIc for a Laser 128EX/2.  Taking out
the EX/2's 3.5" drive will give you enough room to stick in the Focus
drive.  The Laser has a slot on the side with standard A2 slot signals.
You can build a cable to extend those lines to the HD card you stuck
in the computer. The EX/2 is perfect for the task because the external
drive port can support another 3.5" drive and two 5.25" drives daisy
chained so you lose no floppy capability.
