Hi,
I've just acquired a mac plus (nothing strange there) with an extremely strange external hardrive.
It's a paradise scsi 20 mb external hardrive. It has two connectors, a SCSI and a serial one (i guess it draws current from there). It also has a gigantic power supply, and it is quite noisy. Furthermore, you can't boot from it. Neither does the mac recognise it. The only way to mount it is by opening a program called the paradise mounter which basically mounts the hardrive. I can then set it up as startup disk but still I can't boot from it.
I don't know if anybody heard about it, but it seems like a rather odd external harddrive.
