Re: [PCI] OS X on a 5500

[Steven Southerden Dive]

Not sure of the biggest HD, but I put a 20GB one in (from a Cube, which 
is now 120GB). I think on the 5500's ATA66 bus it's 137GB max. You 
probably need to make sure whatever you put in won't over-heat, though, 
and make sure the jumpers are set to allow eveything above 20GB to be 
seen by the Mac.  I'm sure someone else on this list can be more 
precise.

Never heard of OS X going into a 5500, even with a G3 CPU upgrade in 
the cache slot.

Hi all,
	I just wanted to ask whether anyone has been or heard of anyone who 
has been successful at installing OS X on the Powermac 5500. I'm just 
curious at the thought of installing OS X on a machine unsupported by 
Xpostfacto. I just wanted to know before i went to the trouble of 
putting in a bigger hard drive. BTW- what's the biggest it can handle? 
Thanks all.
