- Several of the Powerbook models have the abillity to appeare as
- a Mac Disk drive (100, 160, 180 and Duos spring to mind). You
- should be able to plug one of those units into a power'd down
- NeXT. The Powerbook will show up as a Mac hard drive in the
- workspace when you power up and log back in. I know of at
- least one person that does this on a regular basis.
-
- I don't think the 140, or 170 has this capabillity.
