[comp.sys.mac.wanted] external hard drive for 512K

I was recently given a vanilla Mac512K, and want only to write
text (novel length) with it.  I have Microsoft Word 3.01 (haven't
been able to get MacWrite yet), and am consequently shuttling
system and data disks.  Friends have advised me to invest in an
external hard disk (saying I should be able to get one new for
<$250).  However, the place I called to price an external hard
disk for it said that you cannot, without expensive adaptors,
install an external hard disk on a vanilla Mac512K!

Is this true?  If not, would anyone out there sell me one?  If
it is true, any advice on how to (most cheaply) get set up for
novel-length word processing on this machine?
