| Here's a list of what Mac drives doe not function with 4.01 on an Indigo:
|
| o Micronet 650MB Erasable Optical
If this is the Sony C501 (E501), it will work if you disable
disconnect (see /usr/sysgen/master.d/scsi).
| o Syquest 44MB Removable.
Disable sync SCSI on this one (I think it works if disconnect
is enabled, but you have may have to disable disconnect also).
| o 9 out of 10 Quantum SCSI Drives. (They're sporadic.)
I've never liked them (I don't like their firmware style), or
their performance, but I've never heard of people having
that many problems with them. Perhaps I've just been lucky
in the models I've tried and heard about.
