Yes indeed! I was actually astounded at how well. The plug and play
capability reminds me of the Mac's and is certainly a far cry from the
cruel hoax perpetuated on Windoze users. Just plug it on. Not only does it
come up on the desktop when you boot but, if you put in a Mac Formatted
disk, it comes up with a little Apple logo on it. You can write directly to
it, or format for any of the platforms. Well done, SGI!!!! We love it.
