I am considering purchasing a Mac, but at this point I
know almost nothing about their system software.
I currently own two SCSI hard disks and controllers, and a Memtec
SCSI streaming tape drive and controller.
If I plugged these into a Mac SCSI port, what system software
is available to support them? I don't mind writing higher-level
applications ("tar", etc.), as long as I can have SCSI driver routines
available. Also, is SCSI hard disk support already present, or must
the various suppliers of hard disk add-ons supply their own formatting
programs or kernel patches, etc.? It would be nice
if I could just plug in my drive and controller, and go.
