Brant has compiled a source of practical advice on how to keep Mac hard disks healthy and happy; while maximizing their capabilities and storage capacity. Unlike most hard disk management books, this one does more than just explain how to manage files and applications. It also takes a close look at the hard disk itself - how it works, how to keep it running properly, and how to fix it if it breaks down. Brant answers questions Macintosh hard disk owners (or would-be owners) might have - what's the best hard disk to buy and where should I get it?; what does SCSI (pronounced "scuzzie") mean and why is it important?; should I use Macintosh System 7 or an earlier version?; how do I install programs on a hard disk?; how should I organize my hard disk?; how do I maintain and troubleshoot a hard disk?; how do I back up a hard disk?; what utilities should I use to manage my hard disk? These are just a few of the topics addressed in this volume. Readers learn everything they need to know about running a hard disk with all of the latest Mac models - including the LC, Ilsl, and Classic - and with System 7.
Brant covers all kinds of Macintosh storage media, from standard 20 MB hard drives to high-capacity optical and tape devices, and a wide variety of hard disk software products on the market today - some of which are included on a disk.
