This is a problem for many third party SCSI drives. I have tried several with mixed results. Rodime S20+ (from TriMar USA) and 45M (direct from Rodime) drives both fail with the II. The S20+ doesn't even work with the Mac SE. Both TriMar and Rodime have promised new drivers but have so far failed to deliver. The Mirror MagNet drives (I have the 40/40 tape/disk combo) all work, but won't boot. I have to boot off a floppy. They have also promised a fix (of course) but again, I haven't received anything yet. The Jasmine 20 hung the machine so it wouldn't boot off of anything. I have heard that the CMS 20, 40, and 80Mb drives work well, and lots of folks on CompuServe seem to love the support they have gotten. I am told that the AST-2000 works fine. That's what I know. Anyone else have anything to add? Stew Rubenstein Cambridge Scientific Computing, Inc. UUCPnet: seismo!harvard!rubenstein CompuServe: 76525,421 Internet: rubenstein@harvard.harvard.edu MCIMail: CSC
