Mac guys, learn me on hard drives.

Hey guys,

My friend is buying a G4 tower (keyboard, moue, monitor, tower) for $60 with a bad hard drive. As near as I can remember, they used SCSI drives, correct? Now, my question is, will it boot with any old SCSI drive, or does it have to have Apple firmware? Reason I ask is that most SUN machines won't boot without SUN firmware, and I don't want to have her plunk down $$$ for a SCSI drive and it won't boot.

TIA,

~Slow
