Message-ID: Date: 13 Nov 89 21:56:20 GMT Sender: daemon@watcgl.waterloo.edu Distribution: world Organization: University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Lines: 16 In a recent conversation with our lab manager, I was told that it is possible that Apple's SCSI interface is not consistent with the SCSI standard. In light of the advertising in this group for Apple SCSI drives at low prices, I felt that this issue might be of interest. Does anybody know whether Apple has modified their SCSI definition sufficiently that Mac drives would not work with Amiga controllers? It certainly would not come as a shock given Apple's attitude toward industry standards and interchangeability. The advertising for the cheap drives very conspicuously says *should work* with Amiga controllers. It has not been tested. -- Andrew Thomas andrewt@watsnew.waterloo.edu Systems Design Eng.
