[comp.sys.apple2] Quantum Hard Drive Compatability

giovin@risky.ecs.umass.edu (Rocky J Giovinazzo) (06/28/91)

I want to buy a hard drive for my IIGS and I need to know if any
SCSI drive can be plugged into any SCSI controller with 
appropriate cabling or if driver software is required for certain drives.

Specifically, I might buy a Quantum 52MB drive.  Has anyone had any 
experience with a Quantum on a IIGS?  


Thanks,
Rocky Giovinazzo

    I have a Quantum 105 with a RAMFast on a ROM 01 GS.  This thing is a
dream to use!  The built-in formatting software on the RAMFast card was
all I needed to prep the drive.  DMA SCSI cards are definitely the way to
go now.  You can use Advanced Disk Utility with the Apple DMA card.
