Yes, I don't see why not, they're all ATA drives. Don't forget to partition it when you install it in your Rev.D if you want to install OS X on it. The first partition has to be <8 gig. IMHO get one with 7200rpm, they're faster. > If not, could any of these drives be made into an external back-up drive by > purchasing an external FireWire case or something to that effect? Yes, that's possible too if you don't want to install it internally in a FP iMac. -- Marc van Gemert | MacSonar Support Team | Webmaster MacSonar http://www.MacSonar.net | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
