10.4.10, and while DD (720 Kb) floppy disks mount just fine I'm having

It uses a 3.5" IDE mechanism that had, at the time, 80 GB capacity.
If I want to replace the 80 GB mechanism with one of 200-500 GB size, how can
I tell if the chip set used in the drive's enclosure will ...

I'm helping a friend with an eMac, who has an Epson C42UX Stylus printer. He
can't print. Both the power light and a red light flash, and powering

fragmented over several devices: computers, Tivos, DVDs, etc. with a
combination of haphazard backup and SoftRAID (RAID-1, mirrored).
We have a mix of Macs & pcs in the family, mostly Macs.

OK, call me paranoid - but after a catastrophic data loss, ALL my HDs
are now individually backed up to, uh, backup HDs every night (by
Retrospect). Some are backed up to mirrored RAIDs....
