[DuoList] 2400c hard drive upgrades

[taichi at austin.rr.com]

hi
if you intend to ever use scsi disk mode to hoook the 2400 up to a Mac
desktop as a external drive you can not use a drive bigger than 4 gb.
Some folks found 4.3 gb ibm drives would not even work... massive data loss
may occour. ymmv

one can find 4 gb apple branded drives on ebay

better to blow off scsi disk mode and gett a bigger drive.
a 5400 rpm may be generating too much heat so I would shy away from that
Again ymmv

I used a 10 gb from a newer powerbook that I put a larger drive into.

Look on Dealmac.com
there was a 5400 60gb drive for $135
that would be outrageous !! MAybe Hot would be the word.

Bon

 	Hiya Morris,

 	I'm loving the 60GB Toshiba I put in my 2300.  It has a 16MB cache 
which makes virtual RAM seem quite nice (as long as I leave it under about 
8MB).  I'd say that drive is going well.

 	It's a fast drive which means it runs a bit warm at 5400 RPM, and 
it draws a bit more power than some since it runs at a 5V and 1 Amp.

 	-t
