2GB Hard Drive on Color Classic?

#1 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 - 17:48 68kMLA

What type of Hard Drive does the Color Classic use, does it use SCSI or IDE? Also will 2GB be compatible with this machine, and where can I purchase one online?

I'll be putting a LC 575 motherboard in with 7.6.1 for the Operating System.

pretty much anything before the B&W G3's are going to be narrow scsi, you can find them on ebay, or if you want to wait abit longer I am going to have a 2 gig scsi drive poping up on the trading post soon

back in the day i used to use the IBM models of the 1GB and 2GB drives they were cheap enough... had to use the hacked SC setup though...

I'd recommend using the Drive Setup version of the 7.5/7.6 disk tools boot floppy. Back in the day I had the same headaches with the SC setup not seeing my drives.
