chinook HD questions -- is it re-driveable ?



Having just acquired a Chinook CT-20c, here's a question :

The innards involve a smartport translator which outputs a standard
50-pin SCSI connector.  The drive in the unit is a standard Miniscribe
20 meg scsi drive ... just like Apple shipped in zillions of Mac SE's.

Is this drive replacable by a higher capacity drive ?

If so, what about ProDOS's 32mb barrier ?

If it isn't replaceable by a higher capacity drive, then what about something
newer and more reliable like the zillions of surplus powerbook 20mb drives
out there ?

thanks ...
