I have a chance to purchase a micropolis (i believe) 1.2 gig drive. I would like to hook it up to my ST and use it for MAC via my GCR. I figure i can hang it off my thru port on my Quantum/Supra host set up. I was reading in the 3.0 update manual that Spectre's formatter maxes out at 256 megs. Does this mean i have to get the drive preformatted for MAC? also.. will i have any trouble hanging it off my Quantum/Supra etc etc.. thanks cheers! gunnar alexd@milton.u.washington.edu

I did not read it in detail, but the guy did succeed. You may wish to order this issue to check it out. -- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey R.
