I'm not sure it's model number is m0130, and, like I said it's a pretty old
macintosh external disk drive that we had around the house.

(Dumb question, but is this a floppy drive or a hard disk?)

Can someone tell me if you can plug more than one external disk drive into
an old MAC? If so, I'll bid $5 (for my Mom).

No, you can't plug in more than on external floppy drive at a time.

Are you sure about that, Rob? I've never tried it, or looked it up in the
documentation, but I remember some old Mac external floppy drives that had
an extra port on the back for daisy chaining them.

I'm not positive. But I remember the back of the drive as having no ports.
It's been a while, though. Anyone have such a drive they can check?

It depends on the age of the drive, I think. The external drive on my
brother's Mac Plus, which we got in early '87, has no port on the back. A
couple of years later, when my school got some new Mac Plusses, they got
external drives that did have ports on the back. Apple changed the way the
external drives looked at that point, too. The newer ones, with the port on
the back, also had some sort of poorly implemented electronic eject button
on the front, while the older ones had only the hole for the paper clip.

That's a 400k drive, and pretty useless. You can plug it in the back, I just
don't see why you would. This would be useful if you had a 512KE, or 512, but
if you have a Plus, you should have a HD, or at least, an 800K drive.

Actually, these drives I was talking about were 800K.

Ooh, I forgot about the 400k external drive era. I think they were about
4 inches high, while the 800k drives were about 2 inches high, if that helps
in identifying it.
