When you get to a page like
"
http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/st41200n.shtml", try
following the link which says "A version of this specification with the
linedraw characters approximated by text is available by clicking here."
It takes you to a page like
"
http://www.seagate.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?/scsi/st41200n.txt", which
looks fine on my Netscape Navigator 3.03. Of course I'm running VMS,
not UNIX, but I suspect that that matters little.
For example:
ST-41200N (94601-1200) Wren 7 SCSI and SCSI-2
+-- Some 16-pin configurations may not have these pins.
