[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 987706, member: 56379"] The Powermac 7300/200 uses a SCSI hard drive. Thus you can't use an IDE/ATA directly...but with an adapter...or a special "Nubus" expansion card you can. These cards were available about 10+ years ago, and might be a bit harder to find these days. You mentioned that you're a "Mac Novice". This is actually a more complex project than you think...since: - it's been about 10-12 years since Apple used SCSI hard drives, - software availability & compatibility (OS 8.1) is very thin (unless you already have what you need) - and technical support is hard to find (but Mac-Forums is a good place to visit) If you're asking this question because you happen to have an extra IDE/ATA hard drive laying around...it might just be easier to locate & purchase a new or used SCSI hard drive.
