- | Here's a list of what Mac drives doe not function with 4.01 on an Indigo:
- |
- | o Micronet 650MB Erasable Optical
-
- If this is the Sony C501 (E501), it will work if you disable
- disconnect (see /usr/sysgen/master.d/scsi).
-
- | o Syquest 44MB Removable.
-
- Disable sync SCSI on this one (I think it works if disconnect
- is enabled, but you have may have to disable disconnect also).
-
- | o 9 out of 10 Quantum SCSI Drives. (They're sporadic.)
-
- I've never liked them (I don't like their firmware style), or
- their performance, but I've never heard of people having
- that many problems with them. Perhaps I've just been lucky
- in the models I've tried and heard about.
