Certain miodel PS/2's use SCSI as do other IBM compats such as Compaqs and Dells
and others besides Apple/mac. The problem with apple/Mac drives is that the are
still very much in use and generally the owners want too much because they are
Apple branded/certifed. Also check eBay as there are cheap small capacity SCSI
drives on there every day. I got a box of 5 80mb IBM SCSI drives for $5 plus ship
one day last year.
You have a URL or email address for the Commie serial to SCSI guy? i'm going to put
my 128D back in service and it might be a neat for a fall project.

connecting them up to the Commodore serial bus.
The problem with buying an SCSI drive at Fry's is (besides the fact that
no one at Fry's knows *anything*) I don't need 8GB of space :-) He said that
old SCSI drives out of ancient Macs and stuff like that, usually in the
20-80MB range, would do. I haven't made up my mind about this yet, but does
anyone out there have any old SCSI drives they might be persuaded to part
with? Like I say, the capacity doesn't have to be "large".
