The referenced question asks compatibility between Spectre GCR/1040 ST and a Mac II. We have had no problems in our lab moving a considerable number of disks back and forth between them. My only suggestion, on the 2.0/2.3 release (they are the same, BTW) is to format on the Spectre. Spectre formats to 1:2 interleave, which makes for fast Spectre GCR writes, and Mac II formats to 1:1 interleave, which makes for slow Spectre GCR writes. (We expect to fix this in the 2.5 release). Try replying to "hplabs!boulder!tcr!gadgets!dsmall" and see what happens. -- thanks, Dave Small / Gadgets
