I have a II-GS with an Apple SCSI card in slot 7 with two (yes 2) Apple HD20 disks on the SCSI interface. The second disk is totally unusable (!) due to what now appears to be operating system software problems (although the problem is far from fully diagnosed). Apple tech support is being brought into the loop by my dealer (after over two months of frustration), but in the meantime I have a $1000 albatross hanging around my neck. Be wary of quotes from Apple documentation about their HD20s. Cheers, Bud Huber P.S., I sure hope Apple reads this message also!
