Re: Using an Apple HD 20 on a IIGS

[sloopy malibu <sloopy@amishinfo.com>]

I noticed you use a CMS SCSI card... have you had any problems with it? i
keep noticing in the faqs it says dont use this card but yet everyone i talk
to who uses one says they work fine... does yours work ok with the GS/OS
installer without the CMS drivers? do you use the setup menu for the card?
any info on it you may give would be appreciated...

sloopy.
