I had no problem with the 68 pin 18 Gig Maxtor drive I bought last week at Fry's. I've never found any problem using a 50 pin to 68 pin convertors. Apples formatting tools worked just fine. You will need an external LVD terminator though, if it's an LVD drive.
STeve << There are much larger LVD SCSI drives, but these need a converter, and Apple's Drive Setup often won't recognize converted drives. While it USED to be that a Mac-specific SCSI hard disk was required, Drive Setup will now accept just about any (native) 50-pin drive. It is the converted 68-pin and 80-pin drives where Drive Setup complains.>> -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
