Re: IMAC as removable drive back up station?
Jules
You're on a hiding to nowt with this one me old stroller!...
The stumbling block is SCSI.......
The only way to deal with SCSI on an iMac is via a USB/SCSI converter (Firewire anyone??!!). I think that this would be a major PITA.
In short...it's not worth buying an iMac specifically to try this...but if you've got one kicking around.........
A better solution would maybe buy an older PCI based Mac for peanuts, stick an Adaptec 2940 SCSI accelerator card in it, strap on your fast/wide Cheetahs, bung your DDS-3 drive on the Mac SCSI, and Retrospect all night long.........whilst you're schmoozing the clients in the most-happening-place-in-town, watching the late-night telly, or simply getting your leg over.......
