- It's not the drive that matters, it's the SCSI bus itself. The SCSI bus in
- the Macintosh Quadra 950 is *not* a SCSI-2 bus. It is not capable of
- transfering data faster than about 4.5MB/second. You may put in a SCSI-2
- hard disk if you want, but you won't be able to use it to its full potential.
