Can't I use the drive out of an 800k external as a substitute until I can get a FDHD from the owner? I honestly don't want this to go where my old G3 went: on the sidewalk with a free sign...

One side note is that the machine would make a superb server in it's current state, just run it off a RamDisk and it'll be good to go! I do have the Ethernet dongle, no word on how to get it to work. :\
