You'll need a PC SCSI card that will allow booting from those drives (e.g. Adaptec 2930) otherwise the drives will serve only for backup. DOS or Windows can initialize them. Some cards do not recognise parity and won't mount them unless parity is disabled (unjumpered) in the drive. Charlie -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
