Turbo IDE: 2.0 gb HD on IIgs



Well, I brought my toasted IBM OEM DPES-31080 SCSI-2 hard drive back to 
the original vendor who has offered to replace the drive with a same-size 
HD from another manufacturer.  I have two options that I want to explore 
here (please help me out):

(1)  Exactly which hard drive in the 800mb - 1.08gb size does work with
     the RamFAST Rev D v3.01f SCSI card?  I want to be absolutley
     certain that I have them order the correct replacement drive.

(2)  For six dollars more that I paid for the 1.08gb SCSI-2 drive, I can
     buy a brand new 2.0gb IDE drive for my GS.  :)    What is the
     maximum drive size that the Turbo IDE drive can handle and how do I
     ensure that the new IDE drive will be compatible with the Turbo IDE?

     Should I stick with the SCSI drive or go with IDE now?

Thank you all in advance for your suggestions, technical or otherwise.
