Please pardon me if this has been covered before.  I have a friend
with no news access who would like to know about the following:

Essentially, is a SCSI drive a SCSI drive is a SCSI drive?  Does Apple
do any "weird shit" to make their "SCSI" drives incompatible with any
other manufacturer?  Specifically, can a third-party Mac SCSI drive be
connected to a Next machine's SCSI port?  For that matter, can one
connect it to a Sun with SCSI port?

Please respond directly by email as I don't often read these groups.
