[comp.sys.apple2] Hard drives for Laser 128

NOWAKO09@SNYBUFVA.BITNET (APPLE //GS - THE POWER TO BE YOUR BEST) (12/03/90)

        Recently I donated my old Laser 128 to my church so they could keep
track of address, bookkeeping, etc. One thing they would like to get for it
is a hard drive. I'm not sure what I should reccomend for them. I know that
Chinook has remarketed there //c 20 and 40 meg hard drives. Would this work?
Or could they simply purchase an external drive that would normally work on
a //e? I'm kinda confused over wether the Laser should be considered a //c
clone or //e clone. I remember that I could plug my AMR 3.5 inch disk drive
up to it and dasiychain a 5.25 drive after that. Does this mean it is like
a //c? Any help would be appreciated and tax deductable.

You should be able to get a SCSI controller and plug in any SCSI HD to
a Laser 128.  This would be better than Chinook's CT20c and CT40c
drives because those things are s-l-o-w (the SmartPort isn't all that
fast).
