Hi all With all this talk of dodgy CD's and data loss I have been reviewing my back-up and recovery options. I have an old Mac PowerPC 7300/166 which although not in use at the moment is still working fine and I also have a spare maxtor 40gig IDE drive gathering dust in a cupboard. I thought this would make an ideal back-up drive for my laptop. I have an ethernet network in place already.
My question is, is it just a case of installing a ATA PCI card in the 7300 to attach the IDE drive to? Will the 7300 (running OS8.6) recognise a disk of that size? Any other issues I should be aware of like is it still poss to get PCI cards for the older Mac? Also I'm looking for a small monitor to use with the 7300, and I mean small, 12" or 14" if poss. If anyone has one they don't need any more I'd be very interested. Thanks all you your help.
