I am planning to get the SCSI interface card in anticipation of adding a hard drive later. I would like to be able to buy a winchester off the shelf, add a generic SCSI controller, and have it go. My questions are: o Are there any Apple-specific files that are expected to be on the disk at installation that would preclude this? o Does the software expect any special initialization to have been performed on the drive prior to installation? o Are there any gotchas in the SCSI driver that would preclude my using a larger drive than Apple offers (i.e. 20 Mb)? If people are interested, I will post summaries to the net. Thanks in advance to all.
