I have a 605. It cost me $5 at Dayton. I use it to dump my QuickTake 150
camera and convert the images to TIFF. Can I just drop a full 25Mhz '040
in it and rise above its limitations?

Someone gave me a PB160. It appears to have been dropped/thrown. The plastic
mounting posts on the bottom shell were broken and the guide rod that the
floppy head slides up and down was dislodged from its mountings. Of course
the HDA was roached. It powers up fine, now, on external power (dead battery)
and even boots from an external disk. Any good sources for cheap PB160 disks?
It only needs to be large enough to hold OS 7.5.x and have a couple dozen Mb
left over for the QT150 software.
Thanks,
