Re: Apple II SCSI Card

[George Rentovich <grent@home.com>]

Hi,
    It seems you have an Apple regular SCSI card. Then again you must have read
something wrong, as the IIc does not  use a SCSI card.
    If it is a regular Apple card and not the High Speed, you can use it with
the IIgs. If you intend to put system 6 or 6.01 on it you will have to the Rom
updated to a revsion C, otherwise you could use it as storage device. All of
the choices should work 1-4.  The 1 gig may be a bit trickier to partiton and
use it fully. You would need a few patches, for the HFS, and GenX if you also
want to use it on the Mac. It may need  Termination or not.
   Take care
            George
