Yo compacters everywhere, To my thread here about hard drives formatted with the Drive Setup utility being used in a compact Mac, our -p <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> responds:

I specifically remember having problems with a >drive formatted on OS 8.5+ on a System 6 setup - it wouldn't open the drive at >all and would crash upon trying to mount it.

Well, after trying a few other things today, I will go and reformat my Classic II-cum-iMac with HDSC to see if that fixes or unfixes anything. As it is, the drive I installed had been formatted with some 8.x version of Drive Setup. Could be I shot myself in the foot here. I'm learning quite a few ideas here to teach this Classic II all about how to fake it as an iMac. This thread has lots of life in it. On this forum, we haven't spent much time talking about what we can coax a Classic II to do. The more I tinker, the more I learn it can do. Actually, what I will do is nuke an external drive with HDSC 7.3.5 and pave it from the Classic II. Then I have one of each for testing. Yeah... Has any tome ever been written doing a compare and contrast among the several names and versions of drivers? All I have ever read is anecdotal along the lines of a Ford vs Chevy argument.
