- Any SCSI drive can be made to work, but if you want it to be plug and
- play, get one that is configured for the NeXT. If you want to be able to
- configure it yourself without much difficulty, get one that conforms to
- SCSI rev. 17b or later and supports the mode sense command. If you want
- one that will be very fast for a long time to come, get one that supports
- tagged command queueing.
