* I’ve got one coming in a week or two to tinker with. Just posted in another thread on here asking if anyone knows about the GCR being able to read Mac formatted SCSI disks. I read somewhere online that it could do this. But I didn’t think the ST HD port was SCSI. Thought it was ACSI only.

AFAIK, yes. I *do* have an original - Adaptec even - card that "translates" ACSI to SCSI. I used it back when my GCR was new along with another card that "translated" SCSI to ST-506!! I ran 2 x 30Mb IBM ST-506 5 1/4" HDDs off the pair - with TOS and Mac partitions connected to my self-upgraded 4Mb 520stfm.
Interesting. So you mean yes ACSI only so No it can’t read Mac SCSI disks out of the box?AFAIK, yes. I *do* have an original - Adaptec even - card that "translates" ACSI to SCSI.
