Other World Computing (wwww.macsales.com) is selling refurb 4.3Gig
Quantum SCSI drives for $30. One of these would work in the CD slot
internally, or can be mounted in an external case. I have one of these
Quantum Vikings installed internally in my old Performa-550 replacing
the original 160Meg drive -- but I paid full price for it a few years
ago.
