- I am looking for a little help with a kind of strange situation. I have
- a 170MB external hard disk that is ESDI. The person I got it from said
- it was out of an older Sun Workstation. In the system I purchased from
- him, he said that he had formatted the drive to work with the Macintosh.
- He sent the drive and an adapter. I connected everything but the SCSI
- bus keeps getting locked up (no drives are seen). As soon as I
- disconnect
- the adapter everything is fine.
-
- I did not get any information about the adapter or the hard disk, so I am
- not even sure it is connected correctly. I fear that I may have damaged
- the adapter some how. I am willing to take the loss if I can still get
- access to the drive.
-
- Therefore I am looking for any information on how I can connect the ESDI
- drive to the SCSI port of my IIci or any other options for connecting an
- ESDI drive to a Macintosh.
-
- Thanks for any pointers or help!
