As people have oft commented, DO NOT GET A HDSC for your Apple // computer,
no matter which type.

You can most likely use your 320 MB SCSI drive with your //e, but you're
unlikely to be able to use all 320 MB.

There are three SCSI cards available for the Apple //:
	1) a CMS controller -- if your drive is bigger than 60 MB, it
	won't work.
	2) a RamFast controller -- a pretty darn good card.
	3) an Apple Hi-Speed SCSI -- the classic card, and good, too.
