You should have no problem with a 68-pin Seagate Barracuda as is one of the drives which Apple's Drive Setup explicitly supports. OTOH, a 68-pin WD (and perhaps some others) won't be supported by DS unless and until you modify DS to include a "catch all" device type. The reason for this is an UW-SCSI drive sends a different response to the "read revice characteristics" command than does a U-SCSI drive, and DS is smart enough to know the difference. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
