No, you should chuck it all in the dumpster/tip/skip and buy a Linux box 
instead. Where should I park my 2004 Avalanche "dumpster" for you to 
deposit it into? ;^>

However, with respect to this:

You didn't mention if you're running OS-9 -- That OS can handle up to a 4G 
disk partition (and I think there's partitioning software for it, too) and 
2-4Gig SCSI drives are generally bulletproof, rather easier to find (the 
Conner is prolly made of unobtainium nowadays), maybe lower power, and 
wouldn't it be *kewl* to say you have a 4G drive hooked up to a 20 year old 
machine? ;-)

Just my take on things...
