- To a desktop machine the SCSI DiskMode "hard drive" behaves like a standard
- Macintosh hard drive. The driver that is loaded by the boot code (or
- something like SCSIProbe) is the Apple HD SC Setup driver that is installed
- on the internal Duo hard drive. Unless you unmount the drive by dragging
- the drive icon to the Trash in the Finder you should *NOT* undock the Duo
- from the MiniDock (if you did the results would be the same as if you cut
- power to a mounted hard drive...you will start to get disk access error
- dialogs.)
-
- Treat the SCSI DiskMode drive as if it was a normal external hard drive.
