I know that SCSI is a standard but I'm going to ask this question anyway. Does anyone know of a good SCSI hard that will work well on both a MAC and GS/OS. The reason I'm asking is that I now own a GS and someday I'd like to get a Mac and it would be nice to be able to use something other than my printer with my mac. Oh while I'm thinking about it ( ...yes I know this is an apple II list and not a Mac list) can you hook up a 3.5 inch GS type drive to a MAC II. I heard you couldn't because it doesn't have a smart port. Thanks larry.

Well, if your worried about future Mac compatibility, look for a good harddrive that will work on a Mac. My understanding, is that any SCSI hard- drive of reasonable size will work on the Apple //gs if you use Apple's SCSI card. } Oh while I'm thinking about it ( ...yes I know this is an Apple II }list and not a Mac list) can you hook up a 3.5 inch GS type drive to a }MAC II. I heard you couldn't because it doesn't have a smart port. The Unidisk 3.5 will not work with the Mac (without labotimizing it), but the Apple 3.5 will work on the Apple //gs, the Apple //c+ and the Mac series. } } Thanks larry.
