- The Crimson is basically SCSI 2, so this drive should work. However,
- no one here has tried one, so I can't say for sure.
-
- All future drives will be 3.5" or derived from 3.5" drives (there is a
- 5.25" package with two spindles in it. The new 3.5" drives are
- 1.2GB formatted (2.4GB for the dual spindle 5.25" unit).
