Re: IIe Hard Drives

BEWARE!

Not all seemingly SCSI cards are really SCSI.  The prevailing standard
when the Apple][+/IIe were common was SASI, which was widely used,
particularly by devices like the Apple "SIDER" which was a XEBEC
product. 

Of course, if you get a drive and card that work together, it doesn't
matter which interface spec they use.
