AFAIK, any 50-pin half-height SCSI drive will work. The larger the drive, the faster it will be. > Could it run something like a 200mb? You can use a drive of up to 2 Gb without partitioning, and even a larger one if you divide it into partitions. System 7.6 support HFS+, so if you get a *really* large drive, you can cover the entire disk space with the second partition, even if it's more than 2 Gb in size. The bad news is that the 'boot' partition (the one that contains the System folder) is limited to 2 Gb in all classic Macs. > I have System 7.1 on it, and 12mb of ram, does anyone think that if I were to > upgrade it's hard drive, and install system 7.5, would perform well on it, or should > I just stick with 7.1? I think that with a fast drive (1 Gb or more), System 7.5 will be more than useable in your machine. Putting more RAM into the box will make things smoother, of course. If you have problems or need the new features, you can go to System 7.6. Greetings, Antonio Rodr�guez (Grijan) <ftp://grijan.cjb.net:21000/> -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
