RE; Hard Disk Hi Dave, I ask you here because your answer will surely benefit other netter too. Getting tired of the faan noise from the MEGAFILE 60. Yes I have tried putting 10K Ohm 5 Watt resister to reduced the current and lower the noise down for quite some time until I lock-up the MicroScience. Now the fan is back to full blaze with the SEAGATE 277-1 rattering instead of Dead MicroScience. I just obtain a 100MB CONNER SCSI 3.5" and only 1"Thk HD, an ICD host adapter. I planned to install it inside the MEGA casing by bolted the Drive and the card to the under side of the RF Shield. I saw a picture of Third Coast Interna l drive for MEGA the drive is fixed upside down. Will these shorten the life of the Hard Disk. I could fabricate 4 L shape brackets if necessary to turn it right side up but won't look as neat. Another question is I still not quite clear how to format HD to make it recognize by Macintosh after tapping SCSI out to DB-25 for MAC. You did mentioned that the HD has to be format with Supra

RE: Hard disk
Hi Dave,
Sorry, my quick finger accidentally press the PF5 key before I finish and check
the typing error. Here is the continuation:
You did mentioned in your beige color Newsletter as we as in the Spectre GCR
manual that in order to make the hard disk readable by Maiintosh. It has to be
formatted with suitable HD formatter and you suggested using Supra HD formatter
Do you mean the Supra Formatter for Macintosh or Supra HD formatter for Atari?
I have the Supra Formatter for Atari and Unimax Storarere for Macinto, Can I
use any of these program? Thanks, Suthipa.
