Begs the question, how big is Big and how cheap is Cheap!

80 gig for 80 pounds would clinch the deal. IDE... I think!!

IBM M Pro big black mo' 'ucker
It does have a SCSI socket on the back. Help!!

Just found Kazaa, have hoisted the Jolly Roger, strapped on a wooden leg and Polly's on my shoulder.

If it's IBM, it will have a model code in the form of xxxx-xx (IIRC), from there you can find the spec to check IDE / SCSI etc.
