- Hello,
-
- I have hooked up an external EZ135 drive to my Trump card on an
- A2000. Had to make a 26pin internal to 25 pin Mac style SCSI cable
- (costs about $10 to make) and it works perfectly. Did not even have to
- low level format or format - it just showed up as a drive on a bus... weird!
- I love it, would be better with a 1GB cards, but... You can mount it,
- switch it on/off, e remove card (very easy in spite of Mac users who
- complain too many steps) at any time with no probs. I think it is great.
- It is quite fast (whole 129MB tests on sysinfo proggie at about 1/2 speed
- of a 25MB partition on my internal HD) and I dont notice any difference
- in speed really, while using applications etc.
- Paul.
