OK, here is a very elementary question that has always
stumped me. Is there any difference between an external
SCSI hard drive made for a Mac and a generic SCSI hard
drive? Can I hook up a Mac SCSI hard drive to some other
computer with a SCSI interface and expect it to work (after
formatting, of course)? What about the other way around?
For some reason or another, I have always had the
impression that Mac drives had something different about
them. And, they are always marketed separately.
Enquiring minds want to know.....

I mix and match them all the time (SCSI/SCSI-1/SCSI-2). I have MAC's and
other machines. This it eh Narrow type of course, when you get into
SCSI-3 or SCSI-2 wide I think things are a bit different.
