O'Connor) Organization: Washington University, St. Louis MO Lines: 37 Hi. I am looking to add a SCSI Hard Drive (a seagate ST157-1n) to a MAC SE that I use at work. I am NOT a Mac person so I do not know how hard/easy this is. Here is what I do know: 1) The Mac DOES have a SCSI cable hanging off the back. (It used to have a HD connected to it) 2) The MAC has at least 2 megs of memory. 3) I am using System 6.0.5 (proper terminology?) Here is what I am asking: 1) Do I need a "driver" for the Hard Drive? 2) Can I just "plug and go"? 3) Is this at all feasible? Now, I know you are all probably wondering why I ask this stupid, "in the f... manual" question. This Mac "came" with my job. There are no manuals to be had. I luckily had a system disk and a few blanks around to be able to set it up by intuition. I am not a "MAC" person, so I don't know the necessities for setting things up. Please respond in E-Mail, I don't want to tie up the net. Thank you very much in advance.
