Try using the Plus itself to reformat. It all depends though: what  brand 
of HD is it?

Hello,

I have an external HD (scsi of course) that I would like to use for my  
Mac Plus.  The only problem is, I need to reformat it (according to  Drive 
Setup, I need a low-level format).  I tried to reformat it with  a Power 
Mac 7200/90 w/ os 8.6 & Drive Setup, and it gave me an  "endless loop" for 
about 2 hours.  Then I tried Norton DiskDoctor,  which said it was locked, 
so I examined it anyway, and it crashed my  PowerMac (I'm still able to 
start up).  Any suggestions on how to  format it?
