Search for Article 11333 for volume sizes and for Article 15460: "AppleShare File Server: Chart Of All Limitations", if you want to set up a machine as a server. You'll have to partition the HD to volumes slightly less than 2 GB in size to make them work with 7.1. >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.

Maybe (if eBay doesn't yield anything) you can find a suitable item in an irreparably broken 100 series PB (SwapList? MUGs? avoid the 190 because it is IDE), or you may get lucky online in classified ads (in Germany there is a good idea to look at the small ads at macup.de, the website of Germany's best (IMHO) Mac magazine, or macgadget.de; somebody ought to know for your country.) The latter helped me to find the 1.1 GB Toshiba drive whirring in one of my PowerBook 100s, albeit a little louder than the original 20 MB Conner mechanism...If you are ready to shell out some bucks, go Powerbookguy.com, Sun Remarketing (rather expensive) or the like.
