7220/4400 road Apple

[Andrew Grebneff]

Two floppy-drive failures out of 2 machines... the machine with a dud 
HD had a good floppy, so when the replacement's floppy proved not to 
be completely functional after cleaning, I put the first machine's in 
in its place. Tried to insert a floppy... it stopped dead when it 
touched the heads. No way will it pass those heads. Bah!!

Then, I'd noticed a bit of software (~200mb) on the HD which I'd like 
on my 9600. So I pulled the HD and tried to connect it to the 9600's 
SCSI chain. WHY did Apple make a *40-pin* SCSI chain for the 7220???

So...  none of the drives are interchangable with other Macs... ARE 
there other 40-pin SCSI Macs?

BAH!!!!!! Now I know why the thing is regarded as a Road Apple. More 
like road kill. The Clayton's Mac... the Mac you're having when 
you're not having a Mac.
