those early Macs use drives that are specific to Macs and you can't use non-Mac drives in them. Yanking the hard drive and scrapping it renders the whole machine useless.

That's really only true of the 68k Powerbooks (not including the 150 & 190) that used 2.5" SCSI drives, and the Portable. You can find replacement drives for any other machine easily enough.
