Heh. I remember when Apple SCSI cards were plentiful. Which makes me wonder
where the hell they all went ;)

I don't know when I'll be able to afford it at the moment; I've got Newton
2100, AE Audio Animator, Quadra 950s and a Sun SparcStation 20 lined up ;)

True, but I don't really want a $400 IIgs system. At least, not unless a
TWGS or Zip is in there too ;)

*frown* The one that is shaped to fit under a Compact Mac? Didn't you have
to cut a hole in the case for the tray?

I have CD300es, too, but this is a box like the HD20SC or similar, it has a
thin slot. You could probably replace it with a slot loading mechanism, if
the hole lined up well enough...
