            Bob:

            Those hard drives you see are ATAPI (IDE), and will not work on a 7200 Mac.
    You need a SCSI drive; or more specifically a 1/3rd height (1.0" height) 3.5"
    drive with 50 pin connector. Check out:
    <http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=ST34572N> $62

            I'm not sure if the 7200 can take a half-height drive (anyone?), but if it can
    take a 1.6" high drive you can pick up a 1 gig drive for $19.95 at:
    <http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=205-0666>

            Hope this helps!
            Dan
