Howdy-

    I work in a small mac lab here on campus and brought in an external
3.5 drive a bought about a year ago.  The drive (never before used) will
work only on 2 out of 10 SEs and won't work at all on our SE/30s or IIcx.
On the Machines it doesn't work with, it will not recognize a formated 
disk or can it format a disk.  It works like a charm on the two SEs.
    DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPING????????
    We can't come up with anything in the Lab and I am ready to throw this
drive out the window since the warranty is now null. (please no flames
about why I never tested the drive before now)
	
    I would appreciate any info.
