I think the first thing I will need to do is get a SCSI card and a hard

hooked up to a single 20MB SCSI drive and both computers worked fine. The
really interesting thing is that there was disk space left!! Hell, Office
alone takes 145MB now!
SCSI is dandy and retro, but for the money (SCSI controllers are
expensive on eBay), you would be better served to get a Micro-Drive from
GSE-Reactive or a CFFA card. They boot faster.
Unless you're also planning to interface a CD-ROM drive (SCSI required)
it's not worth the hassle/cost.
