Hi Ed. In its previous life my 7500 was a 7200/120. These style cases have a bay for a Zip or hard drive behind the panel next to the CD-ROM drive, and there is a third connector on the SCSI and power cables though it's quite a finger exercise getting everything plugged in (I have a second hard drive in this bay). You'll also need to find a sled or rig something for the hard drive. I'm sure someone on the Swap List has a sled they'll sell. -+-+-+- RPM -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
