The HD20 is a complete piece of garbage. I dont know why anyone would want one
anymore (the only people who should be interested in the mac 128/512 are the
smithsonian). They were extremely slow, and completely nonstandard. You would be
better off trying to wire an 8530 NCR scsi chip into your //C, or just pick a IIE
up at a thrift store. The floppy port just isnt fast enough for a hard drive.
Besides, with a working SCSI port, you could write drivers for removable disks,
CDROMS, or even a scanner.
