And, what's more, Stephens SE/30 should run System 7.5 (8 even?...been awhile since I worked in the old OS's) which means, it should be able to deal with fairly large drives, larger if it can deal with HFS+. So, not even really a driver issue there, its one of disk format. > <snip>.... but I seem to recall that the Macs that ship with SCSI > support use an Adaptec chipset... And, id also like to add...I typically had less of a problem with Adaptec stuff with Macs...than I did with PC's. Typically, adaptec stuff ran fairly well on Macs. But, I digress. <snip> > Thank goodness, since the stock ones are so terrible. Heh, maybe now we can get a stock two button mouse. =) -- Duo.
