With a SCSI card, yes.
Some configurations included an Apple-branded Adaptec Power Domain
2930 Ultra SCSI card. Other 3rd party cards work, but can be
problematic in Tiger due to bad Apple-supplied drives. SCSI, in
general, on OS X is s*l*o*w. Apple *really* wants you to go IDE,
firewire, and SATA.
>2. One can hook up an external IDE from a different
port?
Only from the inside.
+/- a long cable. :)
Firewire works.
Ya. An IDE->Firewire box is the best option. They're fairly inexpensive too.
>5. Internal HD room inside is 2 or 3, stock? How many
total internal drives can be used inside?
Probably up to four, using the Revision two cage and the stock platform
underneath the PS...
Five with a long cable and tape - on top of the DVD box.
Six if you no gots a ZIP drive.
It gets pretty warm in the box with the standard four drives tho.
>6. any particular revision issues to watch out for?
Just get a Revision 2. No IDE issues with it. Going to be upgrading mine
to a Rev. 2 soon...
Gotta 2nd that. Get a rev 2. Rev 1 == PITA.
