Hi, I am sure this is a simple question, but I don't know the answer, so I needed to ask someone. I have a PowerMac 9500/132 I bought in 1995. I upgraded the processor in 2001 or so with a Sonnet PCI G3/500 Mhz, which works well. It has a good amount of RAM, I think 768 MB, and I also put in a PCI USB adaptor -- only one USB port of the 4 works, but that's ok with me. It only has a 1 GB Hard drive, and running OS 9.1 means there is not much space for my apps and games. Even using a 256 MB flashdrive is not enough. I want to add a SCSI hard drive (around 4-18 GB) to make the system more usable.
All that was background; here's the simple question: If I get an internal SCSI drive, can I add it to the existing hard drive and not lose all the stuff already on the drive? I don't even know if the existing drive is SCSI. I haven't opened it up yet to look around, or pulled out my manual. I just thought I'd ask because I think many of you could probably answer my question and perhaps offer some advice on the process. Any help would be appreciated.
