1)
Can anybody explain the difference between SASI and SCSI ? I've heard
that the SCSI protocol is a superset of sasi, but the extra's are not
needed for harddisk usage. If true, does Apple use the extra SCSI
extra's?


The reason I'm asking is that a friend of mine has a harddisk with a 
Xebex 1410 sasi controller card. He would like to use it with his Mac+.
Is it possible ?

2)
Can someone e-mail me the PINNING of the Macintosh' SCSI connector ?


3)
Suppose the Xebex controller card can be connected to the SCSI port:
 how 'bout software ? What steps must be undertaken to get a drive
of another brand (but ST506-compatible) up and running ?


4) On a show a year ago I saw a 3.5" 20 MB harddisk with built-in
SASI controller; I think it was called the OWL. Is it (or alikes)
still for sale ? what are the current prices ?



Please e-mail me if you like. I will post a compilation of answers of
general interest.
