Popular consensus of today that is correct. MFR use the same assembly with different interfaces attached. I don't know when this became popular (with the onset of the 3.5 low profile larger sized drives of recent years). But I don't think this was true of drives from yesteryear. I have seen many more operating classic macs than 80286 or older 8086 PCs with working original drives.on 5/13/04 4:38 AM, Greg & Rachel Olson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:ATA were never designed to run in a 24/7 server environment (SCSI was designed for that).
But supposedly, there is no difference between the two kinds of drives except for interface. In other words, they use the same drive mechanisms... But different connections to the computer... Am I right or wrong? -- -Jon Glass Krakow, Poland <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
