What third-party SCSI hard drives are compatible with the LaserWriter IINTX
and LaserWriter IIf/IIg?
DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------
Apple doesn't maintain a formal list of compatible third-party hard drives.
The following information explains the conditions for compatibility.
To use a third-party drive with the LaserWriter IINTX, two conditions must
be met:
- It must report SCSI termination power to the printer.
- It must report the volume size to the printer.
To use a third-party drive with the LaserWriter IIf/IIg, an additional
condition must be met:
- It must report the SCSI unit attention command to the printer.
If these conditions are not met, the formatting fails and the hard drive
will not work with the printer.
Note
----
Even when all conditions are met, some drives still may not be compatible
with the printer. If you experience this problem, contact the hard drive
manufacturer for compatibility information and possible workarounds.
