Dear all,
I just have a quick question regarding hard drive replacement in a Performa 630. Since it's an IDE drive, can I replace the drive with any IDE drive, even those released recently, or is there some kind of antiquated version of IDE I am not aware of? I've tried to hunt down an answer elsewhere, but I wasn't coming up with anything. Obviously I have no illusions as to how slow the drive will go in such an old machine; I'm mainly interested if it will at least work. I am guessing I will also need a hacked version of the System 7 disk utility in order to be able to initialise the disk. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
