Kasperski To: INFO-APPLE at BRL.ARPA Subject: HELP!!!! Hello everyone. First of all, I'd like to thank those that answered the earlier question I had concerning the program SHR convert. I really appreciated it. Now I am putting out another call for HELP! This one has to deal with hooking up a Seagate ST225N drive to an Apple IIgs. A while back it was stated that this was possible, but not much was said about how in the world to do it. For instance what controller card do you need... Apple II SCSI? CMS SCSI card? What's the price of these cards? What software will work with a setup like this? What about the ST251N (the 40 meg version)? This one, I am assume will work also, but does anyone know for sure? It's the same type of drive as the ST225N so it should, shouldn't it? What about the 32 meg ProDOS limit? Does this apply to ProDOS 16 too? Is there any software out there that will allow you to partion a drive into a number of smaller drives? For example, a 20 meg partion and 2 10 meg partitions? What about 4 or more partitions? As far as other operating systems... all I need/want is ProDOS. Will this software work with this particular configuration. Finally, what about the cables? I read that the SCSI cable has different pinouts than the Seagate "N" drives... How difficult is it to make a cable to do this conversion? Is it possible to buy one from some third party? Does anyone have the pinout specs on either the SCSI card (Apple's or CMS's) or the "N" series drives? Any info. at all would be greatly appreciated... and I'll gladly post a summary of all I found out to anyone else who might be interested in this. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> < John C.
