: I have a coule of questions.  I am considering amking a "Super
IIc"
: portable computer.  It amy have a Zip chip, internal battery
and unidisk
: drive.  I may also adapt the PS1 portable LCD screen if I can
find one.

I have been considering this for quite a long while, and have
not found it to be worth my while. For your own use, possibly,
but not worth the time and effort to offer it to others.

: - Where can I find a pin-out or schematic of the IIc/IIc+
internal power
: connectors?

I have them somewhere, found them online, try a google search.

: - The IIc has a rather 'large' reserved space for the power
regulator.
: Has anyone ever replaced it with a battery pack?

Doubt you'll find a battery pack small enough and powerful enough
to fit
in that small space.

: - Would a IIc+ power supply work inside of a IIc?  (It looks
small, do
: they have the same connecotr and pin-out?)

No clue, never tried it.

: - Can a "Rom 0" IIc with unidisk suport allow one to place a
unidisk
: inside the case not dissimmilarly to what the IIc+ did?  (Would
a IIc+
: 3.5" bracket mount inside a IIc?)

The internal port is only configured for slot 6, the external
will allow slot 6 drive 2, and slot 5 for Unidisk and slot 4
for other external drives.

: - Has anyone tried to plug in a unidisk 3.5 to the internal
drive
: connector of the IIc?  Did it work?

Yes, and No, it did not.

: - Has anone plugged in a 5.25" drive to the internal drive
connector of
: the IIc+?  (Just curious.)

Have not tried it and it probably won't.
