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? -- Mark Wade
