Re: Replacing the HD with the Jaz For quite awhile I used dual Bernoulli 44 meg drives as my "hard drives" for a Mac Plus setup. This was years ago when 44 megabytes was, if not huge, pretty big, and if not speedy, about as fast as the garden variety 20 meg hard drives available at the time. My biggest annoyance with the setup was that it wasn't a single switch startup. I had to turn on the Bernoulli, insert the appropriate disk (the one with the System disk), then turn on the Mac. The dual setup let me keep one disk as a system and application disk and let the other drive have a couple of different disks for data and miscellaneous applications. Sure wish the old Iomega was as aggressive about disk sales as the new Iomega; those 44s were damn hard to find. Since the Jaz is about as fast as the garden variety 540 MB to 1 GB drive, and since I don't know of any computers being sold without an internal hard drive for the OS, I think that the Jax makes great sense for a second drive. I'm not keen on replacing the primary hard drive with a Jaz unless one only plans on using a single cartridge (otherwise where does your OS go when you swap).
