Hello, everyone,

  Does anyone have any experience with using the Micropolis 1.2GB
hard disk (Model #1598-15) with their NeXT?  I'm looking to get
a fairly large and not-too-expensive second drive since I've filled
up my first one (well, I guess I filled it up a long time ago, but
I'm getting ready to make the $1500 plunge into another drive
only now...:-)).  The Micropolis is a SCSI2 device (capable of SCSI1
I'm told by the salesperson) that's made for PC type machines.
Would I need any special software or information to set it up for a
NeXT (probably, right?) or would it be plug and play (it's worth
hoping...my nice new RAM chips were plug and play!)?  Any help or
leads to where I can find more information would be greatly
appreciated.  I'll summarize and post any general or particular info
I receive.  
  Thanks very much in advance!

It's plug-and-play! Had no problems with a test drive. Currently I have a DEC  
drive (1G formatted) in my slab. No problems at all.
