SCSI Hard Drives for classic 2000

The card readers sound like a good idea but why not just use an external hard drive? CF cards are pricey. I've been using a 1gb jazz drive for a couple of years but like a zip they start making those noises when they get full and maybe you'll have to reload the disk a couple of times before it can be read with no errors. I lost a whole disk once. 1gb is a lot of work. My point is I wanna get and external but I dont know what type or how many gigs can it handle.

classic 2k can only handle 1 gig. even if you buy a larger drive. go to scsi for samplers. they sell hard drives for tha classic 2k at around $85.

So it will partion the drive into 1 gig partions or just can't use the rest of the space on the drive?

cant use the rest of the space. seriously, go to scsi for samplers and they explain it lots better than i could. google them.

you right thanks

funny, according to them, the 2000 can access 2GB and the XL only 1GB.
