Not to hijack this thread, but I would much prefer a ZIP drive inside a SCSI capable Mac rather than a hard drive to make it quieter and would require only minor modification to the SE case in order to insert the ZIP disks. In the case of the SE, my understanding is that analogue board is much sturdier than the Plus board in terms of heat resistance. I wonder if without the hard drive you could turn off the fan, or at least put it on a temperature controlled switch and the existing ventilation would be mostly adequate.
