Re: Memory and storage question

The memory chip trick will not work. Trying to replace the 256x1 chips with
1x1 chips will result in 4 extra pins hanging off the edge. As for the hard
drive, Go to www.dreher.net/CFforAppleII, he is selling a wacky little card
that will let you use a compactflash card as your internal hard drive (I
like to use a microdrive)
