  12.  >:1)  Can I format a HD which is supposed to be used for Macs?
  13.  
  14. Yes.
  15.  
  16.  >:3)  Does the HD connect via that blank slot on the back of the Mig?
  17.  
  18. Hm, you need a SCSI-controller (hope you realize that). There exists
  19. several but Squirrel is quite good.
  20.  
  21.  >:4)  What's the difference 'tween SCSI-II, Fast and Wide?
  22.  
  23. SCSI-II = Extended Commandtable. More reliable for CDROM & Tapestreamers.
  24. FAST    = 16 bits trasnfer.
  25. WIDE    = 32 bits transfer.
  26.  
  27.  >:5)  Can I use Fast-SCSI with that module?
  28.  
  29. Module? Both the controler and the HD must be FAST-SCSI to gethigher speed.
  30. But it will work anyway if it isn't.
  31.  
  32.  >:6)  Can a PC be used to read my HD?
  33.  
  34. No.
