- Rich is probably right, but another thing to consider is that SCSI
- standard in the PC world generally isn't. Here at U-M we've had real
- problems using standard SCSI devices with some of our PC SCSI cards.

- ago, "Building the Perfect PC." (An oxymoron?) I would contact Seagate
- and find out if the drive has been tested with the Mac.
