- Although I don't have any hard specs on the Profile I can tell you a little
- about them. No, they are not SCSI - they use their own controller card.
- They are most likely 5 meg drives, although they could be 10 megs. By
- today's standards they are noisy, bulky and very slow but like most things
- made by Apple, they are real workhorses. My first hard drive was a 5 meg
- Profile and for what I paid for it way back then, you can now buy a .5 gig
- drive! Realistically, they are probably worth about $50 each now. They
- might be good for running a small BBS, though.
