Where/ howdid you get a 30gb SCSI HD to fit in it? or even a 6 or 8gb SCSI? Would love to try one out but havnt seen any for sale in the UK at a price that would make it worthwhile.? Ours hax maxed out RAM and an 800mb SCSI - so your comments are very applicable. Gerald -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
