ok, so far these vintage computers now have Internal 100mb SCSI Zip Drive in place of the hard drive:

LC-III

LC-II

IIci

Mac SE

Also I have a Internal SCSI Zip Drive, Installed in a Club Mac external inclosure,

I have been booting different mac's and different os'es for months and months with this.

IT's been working great.

Over all I would have to say this solutions seems to work pretty well,

The performance is similar to the 40mb/80mb SCSI hard drives.

If you require pictures to see how i've installed them i would be more then happy to provide!

just would have to take them :)

So far here is what I think would be the benefits to using this mac booting method:

- Internal SCSI Zip drive only uses about 500ma of power

- If some how you wear out the Disk you are using, pop another in

- Maybe you have some laying around already?

- Zip 100 disks seem to still be easy and cheap to come by

- It will dimensionally fit in the same spot the old hd was in.

- it will still boot and work with out the IOMEGA Extension. But the extension does make it more speedy R/W access.
