[comp.periphs] Newbury drives and the Macintosh

km@cadre.dsl.PITTSBURGH.EDU (Ken Mitchum) (07/04/89)

Has anyone had any experience using the Newbury 4380S drive with older
Macintosh machines? This drive appears to persist with Unit Attention
on reset, despite being properly programmed with "mode select" and
reporting no unit attention with "mode sense". It acts just like a
drive with persistent Unit Attention - it works fine on newer Macs,
but hangs the system during startup on older machines, and must be
mounted manually.
