[Duo2400] Re: SCSI drive testing

[Josh Keady]

You can test the drive itself, assuming you have a SCSI card in the PC. 
 You will have to repartition and reformat the drive in order to check 
it without some special 3rd part utilities (that I'm sure are quite 
obscure as Win 9x/XP doesn't support HFS or HFS+)  As long as you don't 
care about the drive's contents, you can go ahead and format it as 
FAT32 (Win 9x native format) and try some large read/write activity (or 
Scan Disk) with the PC, then put it in the Mac and reformat it as HFS 
or HFS+.

Good luck!

Am looking for info on testing Apple notebook SCSI drives. I have the
adapter so the notebook drive can be connected to a standard internal

cable and power connector. Question is - here goes, with apologies - 
can you
test an Apple SCSI drive on a Windows (or for that matter Sun or other)
machine and get correct info about it? If good the drive in question 
will go
into a PowerBook . Thanks, Paul Simons
