Re: SCSI Hard Drives and compatibilities.



YES --- there are many SCSI controllers for the Apple II series.  I am using 
an Apple High-Speed SCSI card to control a Seagate ST-138 30 meg dfrrive, and
so far (one month) it works great.  Makes me feel that my IIe is a high
powered computer.

SUGGESTRION:  I have an 8 mehz ZIP CHIP accelerator in my IIe.  The direct memory
access feature of the HS SCSI card will not work if you have a ZIP chip.  So,
if your IIe is acceleratedm, then you should buy the cheaper scsi card.  The DMA
feature of the HS SCSI card is its main bonus, but not usable to me.

(I am not selling my HS scsi card;  I will keep it for the eventual day when
I willnn 10 million dollars and will then upgrade to the IIgs   B--00)
