Well, y'see, I /could/ stick my A1200 in a Tower case, but not only is
there no room on my desk, I'd need a keyboard interface, I'd have to
custom-wire a power supply, plus I'd need to sort the PCMCIA slot out
for my network card, seems a lot more trouble then just making do
with another external drive case on the side.
Anyway my current external SCSI case's (CD-ROM) power supply has been
working for years, plus it's powering my 4.3 gig internal HD as well
(it can't draw enough current from the mb..!)
Actually, I wonder if they have any old external mac scsi cases at
work...
See ya :)
