Well, the IDE drives are faster, cheaper, and way bigger. The largest PURE 
SCSI laptop hard drive I've ever seen was only about 800mb...

I even once read a article where some (alledgedly) got a PB 150 to use a CF 
card as its hard drive.... 

As far as the size limit of the HDD, I am not sure... I mean, since the PB 
150 does not support SCSI Disk Mode anyway, I guess the sky (and speed of the 
HD!) is the limit.

Finally, since I kinda got all of this started by commenting that the PB 150 
was among the ridiculously priced Macs (to go along with the 2400c, TAM, CC, 
etc.), I feel the need to clarify....

When I said the PB 150 was ridiculously priced on today's market, I meant 
when compared to similar laptops of its day, including the rest of the '030 PB 
1xx line. Check Ebay and see what good-working examples are going for!
