You can use any size SCSI drive up to 2 terabytes. The only
possible 
limitation might come from trying to fsck a partition
that's ridiculously 
large if you have very little memory. But a 50 gig drive
will work. I have 
a 300 gig drive in my Quadra 605...

Even that isn't a problem if you (a) have not-on-filesystem
swap (eg, a
swap partition), (b) make sure swap is set up before you do
the fsck.

Oh, and (c) don't mind fsck taking for-bloody-ever.
