I have the original Macintosh Classic, and I was wondering what the maximum hard drive could be that could fit in there. Apparently, my hard drive is fried in it, based upon what a few people told me. I was recently looking through my parts and I found a 500MB hard drive from a Performa. I was just wondering if this could work in the classic.

What model Performa is it from? The Classic, like all Compact Macs, requires a SCSI hard drive. Most Performas, such as your 631CD use an IDE hard drive, which sadly will not work. Performas that use SCSI hard drives include the Performa 400, 405, 410, 430, 450, 460, 475, 476, 520, 550, 560, 57x series machines.

Oh, I feel like such an idiot! I was reading about that earlier, and I forgot about that. Hmm I'll have to hook it into something else, I'll save it for something else. I was only able to salvage the CD-Rom and the Hard drive...the rest rusted out
