Greetings.
I have recently started reading this news group, and am thinking about
buying a NeXT. I have a question, though, about removable storage
media. While I have no qualms about the idea of the optical disk
being my main storage device, it would be nice to be able to trade
data with (non-network) machines lacking optical drives.
Since there are SCSI ports available, I assume that I should be able
to hook any SCSI drive to the cube.
So, my questions:
Has anyone attached a 1.4M (3.5 in) disk drive to a NeXT?
Has anyone been able to, say, read Mac disks (if extra software is
necessary, what do you use?) on the NeXT, or write disks
which a Mac can read?
Thanks ahead of time for any information you might have to share,
John Burke
