I found an add in a computer magazine for the following drive: 96 MB SCSI 28ms seek Maxtor LXT-100 3.5" half-height internal or external Can I mount (or plug-in if extern.) this drive on my IIsi? What kind of software do I need to format it? etc.. If anyone has used this drive and/or has experience getting Non-macintosh SCSI drive working on a mac, send me mail. -- _________________________________________________________________________ Wayne Scott | INTERNET: wscott@ecn.purdue.edu Electrical Engineering | BITNET: wscott%ecn.purdue.edu@purccvm Purdue University | UUCP: purdue, pur-ee}!ecn.purdue.edu!wscott

On other models of Macs, I've always used externals and they work great (I liked externals because they gave me better flexability for security purposes). Whether this particular drive that you are looking at is good is another question. The driver software should come with the drive and you should ask the vendor if it does. If it doesn't, then it sounds like you don't want to deal with it. Good luck.
