Not really. I believe that if you ever intend to use SCSI disk mode, you need to limit the internal drive to 4 GB (at least I *think* that's the number). Other than that, I believe the sky's the limit. > 2. I have seen a second hand drive for sale formatted with system > 9.2.1.

Some Toshiba and Hitachi hard drives are listed as 4200 rpm and > others at 5400 rpm. What is a 3400 able to cope with? The only advice I've heard on this count is that you don't want anything faster than 5400 rpm because the faster drives may generate too much heat. - Eric. -- Eric Strobel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ===================================================================== I'm searching for myself...
