Right now, I'm pretty concerned about how to crack open the box without breaking
it, so I can inspect the hard disk to see what it is, physically. Does anybody
have a recipe for doing that?
Moreover, I imagine I'll use one of the considerably larger IDE types I've set
aside from PC use to replace the drives now in the machines. It's safe to
assume, however, that NOT any IDE drive will work, since Apple Computers, Inc.
didn't like folks buying hardware at a resonable price from someone else rather
than allowing Apple to gouge them. (part of the MAC culture, I guess) I note,
also, that the CDROM is SCSI. That being the case, I'd like to see whether
there's room for a SCSI HDD in the box. There certainly is room in the system
(logically). That would work even better, since I have lots of extra SCSI
drives. Have any of you MAC gurus got experience with replacing MAC IDE drives?
It looks as though the drives in the boxes are 250 MB or so, which might be
adequate for some things, but I doubt it would be adequate for internet
activity.
