I have a Spectre GCR and would like to connect a Mac hard disk to my ST. Unfortunately, I'm basically ignorant about hardware, and so would like any input more experienced people have on this subject. I already have a hard disk with ICD controller, so it shouldn't be too tough to do; there even seems to be some kind of SCSI plug on the back of my hard disk. In any event, the Spectre manual indicates that one must do two things: 1) get a 50 pin SCSI to 25 pin (Mac) SCSI cable; 2) Make sure that the last drive in the chain is properly terminated. Where would I get this cable? Will it plug right into the back of my ST hard drive? How do I go about doing 2)? What is the chance that this won't work at all? (The hard drive I'm planning to connect is one of the Syquest 44 meg removable's; probably the one made by Jasmine.) Any pointers would be *much* appreciated. Of course, I'll summarize to the net if there's interest. Dylan zimm@leland.stanford.edu
