Will a SCSI-2 hard drive work with an Apple 2 system?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
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.

Hard drives, cd-rom drives, removable media (SyQuest, Iomega), flopticals, and scanners all can be added to the SCSI chain. Insert the card in a slot, connect a cable or two, and change a slot setting. The preferred SCSI card is the RamFAST Rev. D SCSI card. The next best card is the Apple Hi-Speed SCSI card.

Question 2: How large a capacity of hard disk drive can NT support?

Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: NT can view a maximum partition size of 2 terabytes (or 2,199,023,255,552 bytes), however there are limitations that restrict you well below this number. FAT has internal limits of 4 GB due to the fact that it uses 16-bit fields to store file sizes, 2^16 is 65,536 with a cluster size of 64 KB gives us the 4 GB. HPFS uses 32-bit fields and can therefore handle greater sized disks, but the largest single file size is 4 GB.

How does a hard drive work?

FAQs
Hard Drives store data used by the rest of the computer. When a hard drive needs to read or write something its controller receives a request from the motherboard. The controller then coordinates the actuator to move the heads that read data from the platters. Once the heads read data from the platters, the data is sent to the buffers. From the buffers the data is sent to the computer to be processed.

I created an image of the hard drive. It stops at about 4Gb. Why?

R-TT - FAQ
You have likely created the image on the FAT32 file system which has a 4Gb file size limitation. Therefore larger files can not be created there. If this is the case, we would suggest that you either use NTFS (through network or attaching the drive to a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 box if you are running Windows 9x/ME) or split your drive into regions each less than 4Gb, create their images and make virtual volume set afterwards if you need to recover files from there.
