   The sizes of the actual cases are different, as well as the pinouts
of the connectors hanging off of them. The size isn't too much of a
problem-- you can just leave them outside of the case and get less
heat inside, and just send wires in. The different pinouts are more of
a problem.  Fortunately, Stephen Buggie has been in the replacement
power supply business for months, and should be able to sell you a
converter cable that you can plug into a PC power supply you bought
locally and run your Apple II off that.
