Macintosh LC Hardware Book Recommendations

Floppy is pretty standard if you have SWIM1 implemented. The ROM will detect it and work if you substitute an IWM and an 800k drive, as well, and since the LC can boot System 6 it's even feasible to boot that way.

SCSI is the same as every other Mac with a 5380 since the Plus, including the same "pseudo-DMA" that can freeze the processor temporarily. So if you borrow that from a Mac Plus (which I'm pretty sure there's a Mister core for already) it oughta work.

Motorola's MMU was extremely over-designed (not as much as the i386's though!) and got progressively simpler each generation of 68K.
