>1) What kind of cable do I need to connect the drive to the Classic? Is it >a standard cable for external SCSI drives, or is it Apple-specific?
External SCSI on the Classic is an older, 25 pin arrangement. An adapter will work fine, though, with a standard SCSI cable. > >2) Is there any limit in the disk capacity the Classic can address? System 6 will recognize any partition up to 2 GB. You won't need to partition your drive, but you can if you want to. There may be some speed boost in accessing information if you do. >3) What SCSI ID should I give to the new drive? Anything except 1 or 7. Try 3. >4) I have heard that SCSI bus needs a terminator in each end. Is this true? >Should I activate the internal terminator in the new drive? Yes, unless that doesn't work. :-) >6) For curiosity - is there a way to put two internal hard drives inside >the Classic along with the floppy disk drive? Or should I remove it to do >that? I have heard of that being done, but it seems a very, very tight fit. Plus, there would be power supply issues. > >7) I have paid 10 Euros (about $10) for the drive. Is it a fair price? Yes, I think so. Regards, Mycroft -- Classic Macintosh Computing http://www.mymacclassic.com -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
