What do you mean by a "Winchester"? The genuine "Winchester" drive, IBM model 3030, dates back to before the personal computer and was far too large to fit inside a compact Mac (the largest Winchester drives I've seen had a 14" platter, so the original must have been at least this big). Winchester technology, named after the Winchester drive, is used by all semi-sealed hard drives from the big 14" ones down to the 1" microdrives... including the Quantum Prodrive Apple most commonly used. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
