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.
