Q: What is the maximum size external hard drive I can use with a Mac Plus and can it use SCSI-2 , with the right adapters?

Need to replace a 40Mb Western Digital drive after 17 years of non-use (MacPlus and AE HD+ floppy work great).  Looking at eBay I see all the way up to SCSI-5, and a few 50-pin and 68-pin Sun drives.  Can I use one of these 80-250Gb drives with enough adapters, to finally get down to the DB25 connector on the MacPlus?

 

Or is there a size limit for ealy MacOS? (I think it can go up to 7.5.1, but will have to start out with original install disks...)

Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier
