No, but it is certainly possible that the drive will not be recognized by Drive Setup as the drive model is different for, say, an SCA or an UW-SCSI than a F-SCSI ... Seagate ST-15150FC or ST-15150W vs. ST-15150N, for example. Actually the ST-15150xx is perhaps a poor example as this is one of Apple's specifically supported drives, but the theory is the same. You would most likely get into trouble with something like a Fujitsu or a Western Digital drive. I've had to ResEdit Drive Setup to add support for both Fujitsu F-SCSI and WD UW-SCSI drives. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
