For GCR users: remember how Dave Small mentioned how he moved his hard drive between his Mac II and his GCR? I have always wanted to do that, to use the same drive on a Mac II at work and on the Spectre at home, but never found out exactly what to do. Well, I've just found out! It is simplicity itself! IF you have an ICD FAST drive, all you would need is a 50 pin SCSI connecter and a REAL Mac drive, such as the Quantum 105 meg selling for under $400 now. Plug the Mac drive in the FAST drive and go! It has both a Atari daisey chain connector as well as a standard 50 pin SCSI connector on the back. Just remember to choose the extra DEVICE when you boot up Spectre. BTW, the Mac drive mentioned above should be an external hard drive, with its own power and case. If you ever wnat to use it on the Spectre ONLY, just take it out of its case and plug it into the extra slot in the FAST case. Now I have room for System 7, the minute Dave gets it working! -- Sam Wang Visual Arts Clemson University stmwang@hubcap.clemson.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------
