Only hard disks that support a certain SCSI command (the "size" command)
will work with a LaserWriter NTX. At first, only Apple drives supported
the command; later, other drives started to support it, too.

However, if you get a hard disk, I'd recommend you get more memory as
well. The LaserWriter keeps a listing of the font names in RAM, and this
slows down printing if you've got something like the Adobe Font Library
hard disk attatched to your printer.
