my Performa 638 had an IDE hard drive and a SCSI CD-ROM these are the ones with the FPU-less 68040 right?
if i remember correctly, i had once stuck in an 80GB Maxtor IDE; it worked no problem but i think it took hours (days even?) to do a full format i am pretty sure you can attach a SCSI hard drive to the 50-pin CD-ROM cable i also had 2x64MB 72-pin simms in there too, and it took a couple of minutes to coldboot (memory test) so about the hard drive, pretty much any IDE drive will do it On Sun, Aug 9, 2009 at 3:09 PM, Chuck Bush <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 8/8/09 2:59 PM, "Steve Cole" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Also, are there any limits to the size of the internal HDD?
