Re: easy project? apple scsi hd on a card ie..scsi expander

["brad" <mrbrad@ll.net>]

bill budgie(spelling?) power supply mods..he has taken pc/at power supplies
and modified them for use on the apple // line... supposedly they are more
robust and provide more power.....he also has docs or descrips out on the
internet on how to make such mods yourself..as well as some floppy drive
mods ...a google should find them i'd think or someone may have them in .shk
format someplace

that would be the guick and easy solution..also solves the heat problem
..the big old AT power supply outside the apple box rather then inside
heating up your cards
