Excuse me if this has been kicked around before, but I couldn't
find anything on it.

Is it possible to hook up a "homebrew" SCSI controller/drive to
a MacPlus?  I have several SCSI setups using variaous controllers/drives.

My understanding is that the commercial drives made especially for the Mac
come with an HFS partition already set up.  Is this true?   Can I use
the SCSI setup program from the system disk, once I have the thing physically
connected, or do I have to lay down some Mac-specific infomation on the
drive first?

Thanks for any help.
