I have just recieved Seagate ST-125N (20MB SCSI) and need to
get some information so I can install it to my SE.
1. Does anybody know where I can get an Internal SCSI cable
for the Mac SE?
2. Where can I get a SCSI formatting program and which one do
I use (are there any parameters required?).
Thanks for your help,
Chandra Bajpai

Local people here suggested buying Silverlining and partitioning the drive with it, so I ordered it and am waiting for it to come in before trying Tony's solution. Now I'm concerned that Silverlining won't fix my problem (since Craig IS using Silverlining), and I've wasted $100. So, I'm about to ftp scsi-fix-error-page and try it. I apologize for the following 'filler' lines, but our piece-of-crap new program is griping about not having enough lines in my article... I always thought the more succinct, the better. I guess not. That's piece-of-crap NEWS program, not new program. filler filler filler filler filler filler filler filler Ronnie Killough ronniek@cs.tamu.edu
