[comp.sys.mac] HD question

palarson@watdragon.UUCP (10/17/87)

Oh no, not another hard disk question!!

The only Mac supplier in this city is selling the General Computer FX 20 
(the lunch-box) for $1300 (Canadian).  I have two questions.
1.) Is this a fair price for a new 20 Meg HD?
2.) Is this a good drive? 

Any relevant information or anecdotes would be appreciated.

Thanx for your time,
	Johan Larson.

The Hyperdrive FX-20 is identical to the Apple HD20SC in all but two respects:

  The Packaging
  The Software SCSI driver

 Other than that, it's the same drive.

Can the Apple SCSI Drivers be used on the Hyperdrive FX20?

In some cases, the General Computer-supplied drivers are incompatible
with certain processor upgrades....................................bc

I've done it with no problem, but it cannot be done the OTHER way...
