You will find the same sizes in 500s, excepting for a few in the 500 MB and 1000 MB size from Apple, and perhaps a few in the 1,300 MB size from third parties. Although 750 MB and 1000 MB SCSI drives were planned by IBM and Toshiba, very few were ever made, and very likely none ever got into a 500. Rather, Apple "converted" larger EIDE drives to SCSI using a device made by ADTX. This device is still in Drive Setup's table of supported devices. The ADTX converter has a 8GB limitation which cannot be overcome. Best bet is look for 1000 MB and 1,300 MB drives which arestated to have come from 500s, buy one of those, and then install an up to 8 GB drive on that converter. But, there will be some mechanical issues, because the drive mounting points changed at the same time as the introduction of the larger capacity drives. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
