In a recent conversation with our lab manager, I was told that it is
possible that Apple's SCSI interface is not consistent with the SCSI
standard.  In light of the advertising in this group for Apple SCSI
drives at low prices, I felt that this issue might be of interest.
Does anybody know whether Apple has modified their SCSI definition
sufficiently that Mac drives would not work with Amiga controllers?
It certainly would not come as a shock given Apple's attitude toward
industry standards and interchangeability.  The advertising for the
cheap drives very conspicuously says *should work* with Amiga
controllers.  It has not been tested.
