[comp.sys.apple] Can a ProApp20 work with a Mac?

cole@oswego.Oswego.EDU (Scott Cole) (11/05/88)

I have a ProApp20 hard drive that I've been running on my Apple IIe
for some time. Now, however, I would like to get the thing to work on a Mac.
Does any one know if this is possible, and if so, how to make it work?

Yes.  The proapp has an SCSI controller so it can work with a Mac.
All you have to do is format it correctly and modify the
driver.  Try to get these mac programs from ProApp or try the standard
apple ones.  Else just get Ephraim Vishniac's "SCSI Formater and
Installer for the Macintosh" and roll your own driver! ( a lot funner,
really!)  If you need some excellent sources, then check out the
September and October issues of Computer Shopper.

Enjoy,
