- My two bits...
- I believe the real problem is with Mac SCSI settings not "most" PC or any Amiga
- controllers. You could always try a SyQuest EZ135. So far we've used them on
- all three platforms without any probs. Also, for abt. an extra $150 you could
- get an internal SyQuest 270 instead. Or wait for the SyQuest 1.3GB.
