Well... u320 drives would appear a bit large to any IIfx system. I would guess that on OS of this vintage maxes out at a partition size of 2GB? Also the speed of modern SCSI drives is wasted on the older bus.

Is there any reason why you can't/won't use a smaller 50-pin drive? Maybe if you use a cracking good nubus SCSI card and special drivers or utilities you might get bigger drive support than normal, but this is a project. Unless you absolutely need huge storage on thing I advise using a "normal" hard drive.

And if this doesn't work out for you, there are many IIfx lovers here who would be more than happy to get it off your hands - try the Trading Post (or PM me!)
