I have a Mac SCSI disk at my disposal, a Rodime 45 Plus to be exact. I was wondering if I could plug it into the back of my Sparc IPC, format it (for Unix) and have some extra disk space available. Yes, I know it may be slow, etc., but I have the disk for free. Please be gentle in any explanations why it might or might not work. I know SCSI is a bus standard and that's about it. Thanks.

As long as you have the drive info for formatting via the Sun, there should be no problems. >Thanks. > Ken > ken@syd.dit.csiro.au > ken@csis.dit.csiro.au -- // Norton Chia || I can be reached via e-mail --> norton@extro.ucc.su.OZ.AU / / Micro Support || Yes, this is Australia calling. ////// AppleLink: AUST0240 / / Uni of Sydney || No, I haven't got anything to say but "Thanks", if I forgot //// When I'm talking half way around the world, my employers can't hear me ///
