Re: Modify a Mac external HD

 Dcaddy@kearney.Net chanted almost zenlike:

 DN| I have a couple of small Mac external HDs (20 meg & 50 meg) which
   | are SCSI ('course). Is it possible to get a SCSI card for a IIgs
   | and is there a way to format the HDs to ProDOS format for use with
   | the IIgs? (When I choose the ERASE DISK command on the Mac I see

What I do is plug the HD into my RamFast then turn on the machine.  It
senses the new drive, gives me a few details, then I have the option of
setting the drive up.  No muss, no fuss.  Other day I found a big box
with a SCSI 50-pin on the back at Goodwill, and the first thing I did
when I got home was stuck it on the RamFast's chain.  Within a minute
of doing so I found I had an HP brand 633 meg drive, for only $10. :)

Almost any old SCSI devices you find can be used on the GS.  I've found
half a dozen hard drives, a couple tape drives (DC2000 and SyQuest
88M), and an NEC external CDROM and made them part of my GS setup.
