At this point, even if money's a consideration, it might be in your best
interest to pick up a newer Mac at GoodWill. I've gotten a Colour Classic
before for less than the parts to do this would cost!
What can I say, I guess I just don't see the point of putting a HD in a Mac
Plus. On the other hand I do know how much trouble I had finding cheap
external ZFP cases for them about a year and a half ago when I needed two.
