I have a question regarding a Seagate ST225N 20Mb 5.25" hard disk.
I recently acquired a HyperDrive FX/20 (yeah, an oldie :-) ) and was
wondering if anybody knew about the ST225N. I have a couple of
questions:
1.) About the three SIP sockets on the PC-side of the drive. Are these
the SCSI terminators, and if so, can they be used to terminate the
drive, rather than the external (bulky) terminators, as usually needed?
I don't plan to use the unit anywhere where I'll need to remove the
termination.
Also, if these are the SCSI terminations, what value component and is
there a proper orientation for it?
2.) What makes a HD unit you purchase from a third party different from
another third party when the drive unit inside the box is the same?
3.) Suppose I purchase an ST157N-1 for use with my Mac. What do I need to do
to ensure that this unit works with my Mac? What about formatting?
Thanks in advance,
Taylor
