The Mac Portable uses a special kind of hard drive. A normal SCSI won't 
work, and I don't think a powerbook hard drive will either. There is a 
company that sells Mac Portable upgrades, but their prices are 
ridiculous. Everything is in the triple digits. I'm not sure if they had 
any original parts. Their hard drive solution was an adapter board for 
more common drives. You should be able to find it via newsgroups or 
something.

As for the C64, they may have confused it with a 'c', which is the later 
beige model.

     I'm picking up an original Mac Portable this
week on my way to get  more
...
 PDP11 stuff at Temple University (in Philly). The
Portable is missing a  hard
...
 drive. Which drive goes into this unit? I seem to
remember a 40mb unit.

    Second, has anyone heard of a Commodore C64k?? I found a news post  where
...
 a guy had two of these available, but I don't
recognize the "k" suffix.

    Thanks!
