I just scoredthe following cool free items from a bunch of gear our office was planning to ditch :

1     IBM   UltraStar      18GB SCSI  HD

2    Quantum              4.3GB SCSI  HD

3     IBM   Deskstar    30 GB   IDE   HD


I know that these all work, I took them out of working machines.

I have a G4 400 with an ATA-33 PCI controller card (which I added cuz I was hoping to get some additional storage), but no SCSI. I'm thinking about stuffing the 30GB DeskStar in, but some voice in the back of my head is reminding me that these drives had sticking problems (hence the moniker DeathStar amongst PC users) ... does that ring a bell with anyone here?


I have an SE/30 with a 250MB HD in it, running 7.5.3 (which I'm planning to change to System 7.1).
I was hoping I could cram the 4GB SCSI HD into theSE/30... can I even ADDRESS 4 MB with the SE/30? I seem to recall some patch on the Apple Older Software page (my bookmarks no longer work for the 3 "Older Software" Apple pages I had bookmarked - they must have restructured things yet again) that allowed for up to 2GB (Ithink) on older systems.




What I REALLY would like, is a 500MB SCSI Powerbook HD to stuff into my new PB160 (which has the original 40MB Apple HD ewww), for which I'd be happy to trade my 18GB SCSI HD. Man, those things have gotten hard to find! But to work in a 100-series PB, it has to be SCSI. And to make it worthwhile opening it up, it has to be over 250MB. Any Brialliant Suggestions welcome : )
