Your 9GB that u're looking at is not suitable bec u need adapter that u have to spend more to get to convert 80pin to standard 50pin. Keep looking for older IBM 7200rpm 50 pin drives, they were quiet, you do really don't want to go back to 5400rpm days. Or spend bit more, get a modern IDE 20GB 7200rpm and acard scsi to ide adapter. HD will be useable on your upgrade path to newer Macs that come down that pike. Cheers, Wizard -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
