At one point the surplus dealers >were blowing those out dirt cheap. (I recall getting two for $5 each and >thinking I was God.) Not sure what you mean about the audio connector, James. IIRC (and this was done years ago, so forgive me if I'm fuzzy on details....I'll open it up if anyone needs exact info) I just crimped the proper connector (Molex or Berg...??) onto a cable and soldered in an old LCIII speaker (little 2" unit). The Apple Sound Chip likes 32 ohm speakers instead of 8 ohm, so I salvaged one out of a dead LC. John, the (black faced) Tosh CD I bought at a "hamfest" (amateur radio) from a guy selling literally TONS of them....I had purchased 3 or 4, still had the last one when my 6X external died. I stuck the unit to the top of the DuoDock with sticky tape to load OS's on several 2300's, but got tired of it coming loose, etc. Hacked a hole into the front of the Dock (just below the "lip") to accomodate the drive. It took some cutting , IIRC. Not for the faint of heart. Whipped up a proper SCSI cable, sacrificed a PeeCee power supply for the cables (see, PeeCees are good for SOMETHING! <<grin>>) and fitted it all in place. The CD drive itself is much shorter than a standard drive, allowing it to fit. Think a standard drive would fit, but power consumption and space would be issues. Doubt you could have any NuBus card installed....the short e/net card barely fits as it is. Just a hardware hack....amazing what you can do with a Dremel cutting tool, some wire and a good soldering iron. Cheers; Andrew ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
