sure you can add internal SCSI Drive to your PM as it has integrated
SCSI-2 adapter. It must be SCSI 50-pin HDD (Maximum 9.1 Gb, as I
remember)
You can get 18G too. Try http://Afterthemac.com
If you read the fine print, you'll find that these jokers are *not*
selling 50 pin drives. They are selling SCA (80 pin) drives with
adapters to 50 pins.
Because they provide technical support, and because that
configuration can be made to work, this may be okay. However, based
on the years of postings here and elsewhere, unless you really know
SCSI, using an adapted SCA drive is a recipe for headache, heartache
and the heartbreak of SCSIriasis.
I wouldn't be down on Afterthemac, but they are just about fraudulent
in their description of the drive and I think they're the folks who
do the same thing in the Mac section of Ebay. They should come out
and clearly state in normal sized or larger print that the buyer is
getting a hack, not a real 50 pin drive.
