Without opening? noe come on the 7500 opens up real easy! a 2 second job! ;-) > The below website says "SCSI: DB-25." > >http://www.apple-history.com/7500.html That would be the EXTERNAL connection, the internal one's are 50 pin. There being two of them as I recall, one is meant to be slower but I've seen a lot of contradictory babrling on that! Anyway I don;t spose a 7500 could house so much you'd need to use the 2nd chain! (which if i remeber is part of the external chain, a sort of internal external bit, anyway best to ignore it!!!) >I want to add a larger hard drive (currently have a 1Gig). I think I would >add it to the SCSI connector and that I would need to either look for a >25-pin drive or get an adaptor. Is this right? Yeah either find a 50 pin drive or go for a 68pin one with an adaptor. I have a 9.6Gb ibm in my 7500 with an adaptor an in work just fine. There are 80pin drives about, I have a 4gb one sitting doing nothing, but I don't think adaptor exist for such things. And it's not really a standard anyway. >If so, are there such adaptors, and how large of a drive can I get? Yep such adaptor exist, mine was �10 (GBP) so I'd guess arounf $10 (us), cause computer bits ignore the exchange rates! (or at least we get ripped off in the uk) As for size. Well being scsi I don't think there are any limitations involved, as big a drive as you can dind should work.
