[comp.sys.amiga.tech] 85Mb SCSI-drive for Amiga

toweri@clinet.fi (Jukka Lindgren) (10/05/90)

Has anybody out there any experience or general info, how to connect a
third-party SCSI-drive to my A2000? I have GVP Impact A2000-SCSI
controller with 42Mb drive attached. 

The drive I am talking about is a 85MB ST-506-drive with a sort of
interface that allows it to be connected to SCSI-port.  It is certainly
NOT manufactured for Amiga, but I have understood that SCSI-connectors
are compatible with each other. 

Are they?

Is there anything in Amiga that prevents me from attaching a 340Mb drive
(or 825Mb, for that matter..)?
Will I be able to format it?
Do I need some special driver for it?

These may seem silly questions, but I really don't have any info about
such things... 

If you have some SOLID info, please email.
