- Hello,
- I just ordered (but don't have yet) a Toshiba 1.2GB hard drive (external) for
- my NeXTstation turbo. The place I ordered from is a Mac vendor and does not
- know about NeXTs. He said I would need drivers for the Next to drive the
- drive, which he can not supply.
-
- Has anyone successfully (or not?) mounted such a drive on a NeXT?
- If so, do I need special drivers and where do I get those from?
- Anything to watch out for?
- Any general tips/recommendations?
-
- I have never before entered into the low level interface to a hard drive, so
- I am very innocent here.
