I can't recall if there were problems with largish hard drives going
into P3 class machines.
You might get some clues by going to the download site for new bios' for
your machines
motherboard and look at the comments / changes made in recent bios
revisions.
Do you know what sort of ATA controller / motherboard chipset you have?
You might find that the hard drive if it does work, will be limited to
ATA66 or ATA100.
Sorry, not much help really.

am I likely to strike any issue in BIOS IDE translations between 'current
hardware' and 'intended hardware' ?;
is there any way to query the 'intended hardware' to confirm it will
accept 80GB IDE hardrive (without physically plugging the HD in)?
the intended hardware is P3-1GH (or P3-900Mhz)
