if it is a SCSI drive then yes .... it should be a straight swap ....

though 1gb drives can be bought for nothing now (i bought one for £1 last year ) ... so that would be the next upgrade you could have .... but 500meg should be fine

I don't see any reason why not.

the limit is ...

System 6 = 2 GB
System 7.5 = 4 GB
Mac OS 8.1 = 2 TB (HFS+)


you will probably need a patched cpy of drive setup to format the new disk .... go to my site (http://www.tomlevens.co.uk/) ... click on "misc" and go down till you find it ... thats the full patched copy ... no editing required

I was going to leave the 20 megger in my SE though... just cool to have a 20 MB drive partitioned
