It's a PCMCIA drive, it should work. The only limitations are the physical space in the slots.

Possible...depending on the speed they originally shipped with 6x drives, but I'm sure at some point in their product cycle they were bumped up. My 7600/120 (specced at a 4X CD drive in the AppleSpec database) came with an Apple-labelled 8X drive with a date stamp of about the same timeframe, so it's likely original equipment.) > I'm wondering if the 1.2GB listed is actually a 1.3GB and they are just > listing how much space is on the drive with the OS installed. It could be a 1.2 gb drive...doesn't really matter, so long as it's an IDE drive it will work. > HARD DRIVE > Any recomendations on Hard drives? > I'm happy with 1 gig or so I just like speed :) > I heard the original drives were slow As a general rule larger drives are newer, hence faster.
