The HDs are compatible, but they are small. Mine had 230MB, if I remember correctly.
Good for the following:
- play old games (back when graphics sucked, they made games more fun - because they had to.
)- good for small kids. Hypercard stacks, old educational software have just as much value as today's software
- web/mail server. There are a couple of freeware web/mail servers for MacOS 7-9 - and it's easy to make CGIs in AppleScript to do what you want. Throw on a copy of FileMaker 4-6, and you have a decent web-enabled database server
- word processing. Use it to type papers for school
- file server - tiny HD though, probably not worth it.
However, if you are going to have a light-duty web/mail server in a room you spend time in, get a fanless iMac - then you don't have to listen to it as it runs all day and night.
