[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Internal Harddrives for a IIsi

jtgorman@cs.arizona.edu (J. Taggart Gorman) (04/17/91)

  In the April MacWorld, on page 236, there is an ad from Aurora Industries
Inc.  They are advertising Quantum Internal 1" 100 Meg hard drives.
  I have several questions :
  1) Is a 1" drive the right size for a IIsi?
  2) Does anyone own one of these 100meg Quantums?  I have the 40meg that came
     with my IIsi, and I am running out of room.  I know Quantum is a respected
     name, but these are new technology, no?
  3) Has anyone delt with Aurora?  $479 for 100 megs is kinda appealling...
  4) Can anyone beat $479 for 100megs to fit inside a IIsi?  If so, where, how
     much, why?
   and,
  5) How {easy,hard} is it to install a hard drive in a IIsi?  I have already
     voided the warranty by installing 4 megs of memory, so I am comfortable
     with the inside of my Macintosh.  I may be a Computer Science undergrad,
     but I am not a hardware hacker.  That stuff is for the CSEs, EEs, and
     other techies...

  Okay, just a few questions.  Thanks.
