Thanks, Matt, for the interesting report on the SCSI situation, but I think
that a major question that a lot of "other" drive owners would like to know
is, "Can I purchase an Apple SCSI card and then use it to gain the full
capabilities of GS/OS?"  If that is too simple of a question let me get into
some specifics.

o       May I take an Apple SCSI card, use it to partition my CMS card
        in the Apple partitioning scheme and then have access to the
        full 80 megs of my hard drive through partitions while not
        using extra slots?

o       Can I use the Apple low-level utilities for diagnostics on my
        CMS drive?

o       Can I still daisy-chain my other SCSI devices into the Apple
        card?

o       Why does Apple not use a chaining scheme standard in most all
        other SCSI devices, for the Apple II when they do for the Mac?

Thanks

Todd South
