Thank you very much to everyone who replied to my article
<1992Sep15.033823.3503@cs.yale.edu>
Because a number of people requested I send copies of the responses, I 
decided to post a summary of what I learned:

1) Most mac drives do work on the NeXT, but because mac SCSI isn't
quite standard some do have problems. I did get a large number of 
responses from people who have been using mac drives of all shapes and
sizes without problems. In fact no one reported to me that they had
problems with mac drives. Just be sure you buy from someone who knows
NeXT hardware and has good support policies.

2) The NeXT does not actually use SCSI-2, so there is no performance
penalty when using a SCSI-1 drive with the NeXT. Some people suggested
that reformatting a mac drive using 1024k blocks would make mac drives
perform better with the NeXT, but I have no idea what this means.

Thanks again for all of the responses.
