Yes you can. I repaired a San Francisco Rush using standard Seagate 1,2 Gb harddisks... I think that as long as the hardisk is bigger than the data, it's ok. Better, you can use a CompactFlash CF Card to IDE Hard Disk Adapter Card instead. And use a compact flash card instead of the hard disk. | |

| Be careful if you use a HDD to big.
I repair a Maximum Force game with a 8gb HDD and the game reset sometimes when there was to many sprites on the screen.
With a 4,3Gb HDD it's ok.
Probably the first one use to many power for the PCB. | |

It probably just couldn't handle large disks correctly. If you remember, we had the same problem with our PC motherboards at the time... | |
