If it was only usable on a Mac I would have known that and not bought it for my //GS. (Of course, I pay more attention to things like this than the average user. I really feel sorry for Joe Blow computer user out there. Most of the information out there regarding computers is still too damn complicated for the average layman to understand.) To all those //gs owners out there: if you are considering adding a harddrive, do yourselves a favor. Browse through some Mac magazines and look at the prices in there. You'll find that they are lower than the same kind of drives advertised in Incider A+ (bleck!!). -- Kevin S.
