The card,Apple Super Serial Card, seems okay. I think the drive has failed.
I have a doohickey attached, an APC SCSI Sentry, and it seems the card is
communicating with the drive. I'm hoping the drive I ordered, due Saturday,
will work out.

I was just wondering my options. The SATA drive/card is in a spare IIgs and
formatted and software installed for that machine and I'd like to leave it
that way but if it will work in a //e and can be formatted with the
utilities I have that would be an option.

SCSI2SD I've looked at briefly some time ago when I heard of it. I thought
they were in short supply due to chip shortages or do I have that all wrong?
