AND NOW.........
                    The Challenge of the week....
.
     I understand that it is fairly simple to hook up a Hard Disk to
the MAC+ SCSI Port. The Way I understand it is...
.
1. Get an off the shelf hard drive at your local electronics surplus.
2. Hook a SCSI Disk controller to the drive.
3. Hook the controller to the MAC+ SCSI port (custom cable?)
4. Tell the Mac that there is a H.D. (modify H.D. 20 DOC.?)
5. format dialog should magically appear, and your on your way.
.
Sounds easy enough, I can make the cable etc. but how do I tell
the system that the Drive exists? Has anybody out there made their
own Hard Drive? I don't expect that the 3rd party drive
manufacturers are going to tell me so I'm hoping there is
someone at Apple, or in the population at large who can help.
.
                      Thanks in advance.
