Re: Why Apple II?

[buggie@indus.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

This is off on a side-tangent, but relates to the IIC:

I have nine IIc's.   How I _wish_ that someone could write software or a
ROM so that the  external Mac serial-port SC20 hard drive could be used
with the IIC!   These SC20 units are dirt cheap now that no one in the Mac
world would ever use them again.   But just fantasize what a 20 meg hard
drive would do for the IIc we have!

I know there is a technical complication against the IIc using this drive.
But if the drive did all its communication throught a serial port, can't
it be modified to run with a IIc????
