I have a 7500 upgraded with a phase 5 g3/400 card, 296meg ram and an ATI Xclaim VR graphics card running OS 9.1. I did have a 2 gig internal, 1 gig internal and 1 gig external HDs but got a 6 gig and 4 gig hd off ebay quite cheaply (both 50pin scsi so no messing around with adaptors).
The 6 gig (6.4 gig actually but shows up as 5.99 gig...why?) is a quantum drive and formatted fine with Drive Setup. The 4 gig is a Hewlett Packard drive (didn't even know they made hard drives) - Drive Setup says it is unsupported and won't work but I used Anubis (very good when I need a 3rd party program) which formats the drive and mounts it. The only problem is whatever I do, Anubis insists on formatting as at least 2 partitions (2 gig each) - this is not a problem to me, it just seem a little unnecessary but is this likely to cause me any problems in the future? The added bonus I have found is the drives are almost silent, I can leave my mac on overnight without is sounding like I'm sleeping under a flight path! By the way does anyone have a few HD sled mounting screws they could post to me (UK) as I am using a few I got from maplin but the are too lond and the HD is a little loose?
