- I thought this was the other way around. Anyway, my girlfriend has a
- Mac Classic (I think). Anyway, I hooked my 44 MB Bernouli up to it
- and tried to use the system software on the Mac to format it. Claimed
- that there was no drive out there. The Bernoulli works fine as a
- generic SCSI device on my machine (AHA-1740 SCSI-II controller).
