I have an old ('97) computer with a 2G SCSI master drive. I wanted to add a slave drive to increase its memory, which is a 3G IDE drive? Can this be done, please? Can it be done fairly easily? I will be happy to answer any questions if you need more information.
MANY THANKS, LINDA

    Sorry to be obtuse!! The pc is old it says 1997. It has windows 2000 on it. Hope that explains it.

  • If you tell us the make and model of your PC we can say whether it's capable of taking an IDE drive.

    As it already has a SCSI interface why not add another SCSI drive instead? You can get them off ebay for around £5.
