Erk! Watch out! Trap!

You can *NOT* use a 630 series model's internal disk drive, because it is
IDE. You will need to buy an external SCSI drive.

I have such a SCSI drive on hand; I'm just waiting for the LC040 fix...
you'll be waiting a long time for 630 support if you don't have an external
HD, though. Supposedly someone's working on IDE but I haven't heard much
about it.

This also applies to LC 580 and PowerBook 150/190 users. (note however that
the PB 150 is a 68030, not a 68LC040, so it'll work right now if you have
the external HD)

Don't start tossing stuff off your hard drive yet =)
