12.005 Will a SCSI-2 hard drive work with an Apple 2 system?
Usually, yes. I'm on my second Quantum drive that is described as "SCSI-
2".
There is a major caveat to this answer. Some newer drives require a host
which implements the arbitration phase of the SCSI communication dialogue. The
RamFAST doesn't do this, and as a result there are some drives that cannot be
used with a RamFAST SCSI card. A notable example is the Quantum Fireball
series. However; the Trailblazer and all older Quantum models work fine.
