I plan on purchasing an IBM clone with a 50 MB Seagate 157n Hard Drive. and I was wondering if I could use part of this drive for my //e?? Would I need special software or hardware for my apple or clone??? thank you.

OK. I have two questions.... 1> I got a FREE HD, and went over to my apple dealer to get it formated, to at least see if it worked...it currenly has a MAC format on it...I (when the power off) plugged it in. I couldn't get it to work, so I replaced the apple 40SC they had. It doesn't work now.... The drive is an LoDOWN HD, scsi compatable..it works on a mac, what happened? Secondly, are their fuses on the GS's internal power supply? Does anyone know of a cheep replacement HD? TSEMM@ALASKA.BITNET TSEMM@ACAD3.fai.alaska.edu

I see SCSI hard disk drives in computer magazines for $2-300 for 20-40 megabyte hard drives. And I was wondering how you could connect one of these to the Apple SCSI controller. I have an Apple //e and I don't want to shell out big bucks for this, It would be any problem to use two slots, (one for the controller and one for the card), Can I run it off my apple power supply or would I need a seperate one. Could I slap together some Radio Shack parts to get it to work or is it something technical? Thanks. (* Please E-mail your responses *)

Ok, I have a 60 meg CMS drive that I bought - it came with a SCSI controller. Now, the controller has two ports on it that can be used (they are the same) - I believe this means that I can buy another SCSI drive and use both off the same controller - is that correct? Also, since I'm somewhat unfamiliar with controllers... can I purchase ANY "SCSI" drive and use it un my GS with that SCSI controller?
