hum... My notes say that the max vol size was increased from 4 GB to 2 TB in System 7.5.2 (July '95). Is this not correct?
That is true, but some of the Macs on this network are older Macs running System 7.1. I have found that when they access a volume via AppleTalk that are several GB that the sizes are not properly reported or handled.
Ahhh good point. I forgot about that afp issue. :)
So this means that pretty much any EIDE drive will work? ;)
yea, but considering the age of your beastie, I'd stick with older cheaper IDE drives. eBay.
