The built-in SCSI in the 68k machines was an older rev of SCSI-1 Narrow. So you need to stick to drives that talk to that spec reasonably. IOW, I'd stick to SCSI-1 or SCSI-2 or SCSI-2 Fast drives. Don't go wide or SCSI-3, even with adapters; you could end up with timing problems.

Then there are OS limitations; you didn't mention what system you're running. System 7.5 increased max volume size to 4 GB. As I recall, I think that ment you could use bigger drives, but they had to be partitioned. System 7.5.2 raised that max to 2 TB.


Hmmmm, does anyone know of System 6/6.0.8 HDD limitations?

Thanks Dan!
