The speed will be limited ONLY if the transfer rate the drive is capable of exceeding
the SCSI-2 FAST specifications. The SCSI interface sets an upper limit, but the actual
cabilities of the hard drive mechanism determines the actual transfer rates obtainable.
If this was an older design and the i

I'll go there.

Ok
Another question has come to mind regarding this subject.
Is the PCI bus in the 7500ish Mac's a 32, or a 64 bit bus?
I'm assuming it's 32 bit.
Also, What is the top end of the transfer rate on the internal SCSI 2 bus.
Is it 5, or 10 Mbyte/sec.
Thanks again

The drive's data throughput will be limited by the SCSI 2 bus; it will work, but
you'd be better off installing an Ultra SCSI controller card to serve as a dedicated
