Re: Profile formatting



That's an interesting thought. Given the thickness of the aluminium cast
of the Apple /// case in that specific spot, it's going to require major
mechanical tooling to open a slot in the case that can accomodate the
extra 3 inches that the HS SCSI cards will need to fit in an Apple ///
slot. It's possible that a hole in the front panel is needed as well.
