- I have some questions about hooking things up to the Mac SCSI bus.
-
- - Are there any Nubus boards that give you a second SCSI bus? If so,
- what's the software interface look like? Apparently the SCSI manager
- in the Mac system is really just designed for one SCSI bus.
- If such boards exist, who makes them?
-
- - If one wanted to hook up a "raw" disk drive, i.e. one that does NOT
- contain a filesystem (but IS formatted!), is it necessary to supply a
- driver? Or can one simply get bits on/off it using the SCSI manager?
- Or does the SCSI manager somehow depend on the driver being there?
-
- Thanks, responses => sjk@netcom.com
