1) DEC SCSI won't no matter what - their ROMs are Mac resistant. 2) Laptop IDE drives with the proper adapters and SCSI to IDE bridge like Acard ARS2000 can be initialized by Drive Setup (8.6). A 20 gig Fujitsu I hooked up as such worked well on my 7600 except it was too slow (3.7 MB/sec transfer rate). Charlie -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
