i am looking into buying an external harddrive for my power mac 5400/180

what kind of cables are needed and will an external hard drive work on this mac? i am not buying a usb or firewire. i just saw one on ebay but i am not sure if it will work with my mac. if you could please shed some light on this i would really appreciate it.

thanks in advance,

zeb

Your 5400 has an IDE internal drive. You
can get a really big one pretty cheap. No
need for an external SCSI drive, cables, or
terminators.
