As far as I'm aware, all parallel-SCSI implementations are expected to support plain old Asynchronous Narrow mode, which is what most Macs use. Support for faster modes is optional and negotiated over the bus in Asynchronous Narrow mode. As noted, most drives are not Apple "blessed" and will require a third-party formatter, such as Silverlining. I think you can get that from Macintosh Garden. Some of the oldest Macs can't access beyond the first gigabyte from their ROMs. The workaround is to make a 1GB System partition at the start of the drive, and one or more separate data partitions using the remaining space. - Jonathan Morton -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
