- I have an 8200 (2.5G) drive which is probably the same as the 8500, unless they
- have changed something I am unaware of. You do not need any special drivers,
- just set your scsi id # (be sure to pick one which is not in use and don't use
- 7 or 1 since that is the cpu and default id for your internal hard disk. If
- you have other scsi devices check your numbers).
-
- Once the scsi drive is connected you can begin using it.
