I need more hard drive space for my blue & white G3. Since it is a
revision
1 G3, I can't just plop another IDE drive in there. The xlr8yourmac
site has
lots of information and advice--so much, really, that it's
overwhelming--and
they do have instructions for adding a slave IDE drive, but they
strongly
suggest that to do so, an IDE PCI card needs to be installed. So if I'm
going to have to add a card, I may as well add a SCSI card, right?
I don't have any sufficiently large drives lying around, so I'm going
to
have to purchase whatever I add. So should I install an internal drive
or
buy an external drive, which would cost more but could be used with my
iBook
and probably with whatever my next Mac desktop is?
If I go internal, do I go with IDE or SCSI? If I go external, should I
go
with FireWire, USB, or a combo drive? Should I buy a pre-built external
drive or get a case and drive and put them together? Could these
decisions
be based simply on how much the various setups cost, or are there other
considerations?
Does anyone have any advice for me or can you point me to where I
might find
guidance?
Thanks again,
Joy
